Meanwhile, chop pineapple, mango and bell pepper, and prepare grill.
Remove turkey from fridge. Alternate placing turkey on skewers with pineapple, mango, and bell pepper. {Note – I use metal reusable skewers, but if you use wood ones be sure to soak them ahead of time.}
Grill kabobs for approximately 5 minutes, then turn over and continue grilling for another 4-8 minutes* or until turkey is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165 F.
Notes
Notes:The specific cooking time will vary based on your grill type and heat. I recommend checking a few minutes after turning. The best way to assess if they're done is to check the temperature and ensure a minimum temp of 165 degrees.
