Grilled turkey shish kebab

Shish kebab is a traditional preparation with deep roots in Middle Eastern cuisine, especially in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Armenia, where the word "shish" means skewer and "kebab" refers to grilled meat. This dish has traveled through the centuries and has been adapted in different cultures. In Latin America, although it is not an indigenous dish, it has gained popularity in countries like Mexico, Chile, and Argentina, where it is simply known as "kebab" or "brochettes." Its versatility and flavor make it a favorite option for barbecues and family gatherings.

Shish kebab can be prepared with various types of meat, but in this recipe we will use turkey, a lighter and healthier option. It is also accompanied by fresh vegetables that add color, texture, and flavor. This combination makes the dish attractive and nutritious, ideal for those looking for a delicious alternative on the grill.
