Ingredients

- Pour the marinade over the turkey, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the turkey.
- Refrigerate the marinated turkey for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to develop and permeate the meat.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated turkey chunks onto skewers, and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through and has a charred exterior.
- Serve the succulent souvlaki with your choice of sides and enjoy the robust flavors of Greece.
