Chef's Note

For extra juicy turkey, don't overcook it in the air fryer. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer after 10 minutes, as air fryers can vary in cooking time. You can also prepare these skewers ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to cook for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds turkey breast

  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 2 large red bell pepper

  • 1 medium red onion

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

  • 1/2 medium cucumber

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
  • 1

    Cut 1.5 pounds of turkey breast into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.

  • 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 3

    Pour the marinade over the turkey cubes, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.

  • 4

    Cut 2 medium zucchini, 2 large red bell peppers, and 1 medium red onion into 1-inch chunks suitable for skewering.

  • 5

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.

  • 6

    Thread the marinated turkey and prepared vegetables onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables, including cherry tomatoes throughout.

  • 7

    Brush the assembled skewers with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 8

    Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

  • 9

    Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  • 10

    While the skewers are cooking, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by combining 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, 1/2 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded, and finely diced), 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

  • 11

    Let the skewers rest for 2 minutes after cooking.

  • 12

    Serve the hot skewers with the cool mint yogurt sauce on the side.
