If you’re hosting a BBQ and want to offer more than the traditional burgers and sausages, these lean, succulent kebabs will be popular with everybody.

Ingredients

240g turkey breast, diced
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 2cm pieces
12 cherry tomatoes
160g mixed salad leaves

For the Peri Peri sauce:

1–2 red chillies, trimmed (deseeded for a milder taste)
1 clove garlic, finely diced
½ lemon, juice only
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon rapeseed oil

Method

Place all the Peri Peri ingredients in a food processor and blend into a smooth marinade.
Put the turkey in a bowl and add the Peri Peri sauce. Using your hands, mix, coating all sides of the turkey in the marinade – be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and afterwards. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours for a stronger flavour.
Alternating between turkey, pepper and cherry tomatoes, assemble four kebabs on skewers.
Turn the grill on to high.
Transfer the kebabs onto a foil-lined baking tray and cook under the grill 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through.
Serve on a bed of salad leaves.
