Grilling is the essence of summer time don't you think? It's so easy, there's no heating the oven so the house stays cooler and it's just nice to be outside cooking!

This recipe is so simple and really adaptable as far as the veggies you pick. It only takes about 10 minutes to prepare and about 10 minutes to cook the kabobs on each side. It's a 30 minute dinner, who doesn't like that?!

You just clean and wash your vegetables, prepare your ground turkey meatballs and start skewing.

I slightly adapted my Turkey Meatloaf Muffin recipe last week and was ready to bake them in the oven and thought, "why can't these be grilled instead?" And.it.was.so. 🙂

The balsamic glaze is delicious but if you are short on time and can't bring it to a boil to thicken, you can simply whisk it in a bowl and still use to coat the veggies and meat on the grill. It's better when it's thicker, but it can still work. I've also made the glaze using red wine vinegar when I've run out of balsamic. Still tasty but balsamic is better!
