 - Marinate: Place the turkey cubes in the bowl and stir well, ensuring that the meat pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap/cling film and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking and let come to room temperature.
 - In the meantime, soak the wooden skewers in cold water to prevent them from burning.
 - Skewer the meat, about 4 cubes on each skewer. Brush lightly with some olive oil and sprinkle with a little extra salt.
 - Heat the grill pan, brush lightly with olive oil. Place some of the turkey kebabs in the pan, as many as they fit without touching each other.
 - Cook for about 15 minutes, turning several times in between, making sure that all the sides make contact with the pan at one point or another.
 - Check for doneness by cutting one piece of turkey meat in the middle.
 
Notes
- Alternative meat: You can make the kebabs with chicken as well (breast or skinless, boneless chicken thighs).
