Turkey Kabobs

Turkey kabobs are a favorite at my house. During the summer, it is not uncommon for me to find multiple friends staying for dinner or the entire night. I awake each morning and count the newest heads in the bunch. With three sons of my own plus their friends, I soon have a small army to feed. Kabobs are fast and easy and the clean up is a cinch.
