Things You'll Need

  • 2 lbs. of turkey sausage
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. of pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. of salt
  • 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup of chicken broth
  • Frying pan
  • Skewers
  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce for your kabobs by combining chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, pepper and olive oil in a mixing bowl. Set in the refrigerator until your turkey sausage is ready.

  2. Pour 1 cup of water in a frying pan and add your turkey sausage. Cook for 8 minutes once the water begins to boil. Your turkey sausage will not be completely cooked at this point.

  3. Cut your turkey sausage links into 2-inch pieces. This size is ideal for your skewers.

  4. Cut up your onions and green peppers into chunks big enough to go on your skewers.

  5. Slide a piece of turkey sausage on the skewer and then a piece of red pepper. Next slide on a cherry tomato and then a yellow pepper. Finish off with an onion slice and start all over again until you cannot fit any more on the skewer. Do this with several skewers.

  6. Pour the sauce you made in step 1 all over your kabobs.

  7. Grill your kabobs on medium high heat for 4 minutes. Flip and cook another 4 minutes. Every 2 minutes you will want to brush on some more of the sauce you made earlier.

  8. Serve over a pile of rice.
