Perfect for lunch or dinner, they’re a tasty and wholesome option that satisfies your cravings while supporting a healthy lifestyle.

Method

1. To make the marinade, combine the oil, oregano, mint, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, lemon, and garlic.
2. Cover the diced turkey breasts with the marinade in a large mixing bowl. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for a minimum of 3-4 hours.
3. Soak the skewers in cold water for 5 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
5. Cut the white onion, bell pepper and tomato into 2-inch pieces. Remove the turkey from the marinade – keep the remaining marinade. On the skewers, place a piece of turkey, and then one of the vegetables, then another piece of turkey.
6. Keep doing this until all the skewers are made up and the meat/vegetables are all used up.
7. Place the remaining marinade in a saucepan and place on high heat until the mixture is boiling.
8. Add the cornflour and water slurry and add to the marinade. Stir continuously until the mixture is thickened. Spoon or brush/coat the skewers in the thickened marinade mixture.
9. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, warm the tortilla or pitta bread in the oven for the last 5 minutes, and then assemble once everything has cooked with salad and tzatziki sauce.
