Ingredients
- ½ cup orange marmalade
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil divided
- ⅛ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a bit more for sprinkling over assembled kebabs
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper plus a bit more for sprinkling over assembled kebabs
- 1½ pounds turkey breast tenderloin cut into 1" to 1¼" pieces, 24 ounces
- 1 medium red onion cut into 1" to 1¼" pieces, layers separated
- 2 medium orange cut into 3/16"-thick rounds, and then cut the rounds in half, navel
- 2 medium orange cut in half, navel
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, chipotle powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Remove roughly half of this orange marinade/glaze to a separate small bowl and reserve for brushing over skewers while on the grill. Add turkey pieces to the remaining orange marinade/glaze in the medium bowl and fold to coat evenly.
- Add onion pieces to a small bowl and drizzle with remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Fold to coat evenly.
- Add turkey, onion, and thin orange slices to skewers, alternating between each one. When adding the orange slices, fold each half-round in half, sandwiching it between the other pieces (see my photos). Sprinkle assembled kebabs with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Heat grill to medium to medium-high heat, about 425° F. Make sure grates are scrubbed clean and then oiled (see Notes).
- Place orange halves cut-side down and turkey kebabs on hot grill grates and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until distinct charred marks form. Remove orange halves to a serving platter. Flip kebabs over, brush half of the reserved orange marinade/glaze over the top of each kebab, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Flip one more time, brush on the remaining orange marinade/glaze, and grill until turkey is cooked through, to 145°F. Total cook time will vary, more or less, depending on size of turkey pieces and actual grill temperature.
- Remove kebabs to the serving platter, along with the grilled orange halves for squeezing over the kebabs as desired. Let kebabs rest a few minutes, then serve while still hot.
Notes
- To oil grill grates: Add some cooking oil to a small bowl. Then fold a heavy paper towel a few times to make a smaller square. With a tongs, grasp the folded paper towel and dip it into the oil until the paper towel is drenched. Then run the paper towel over the grates, repeating until all grill grates are thoroughly oiled.

- Keep a thin metal spatula/turner on hand while grilling: The marmalade can cause the kebabs to want to stick - if this is an issue, use a thin metal turner to gently release the kebabs from the grates before flipping, to avoid tearing the kebabs.
