GRILLED TURKEY SAUSAGE KABOBS

We love SOPP: sausage, onions, potatoes, and peppers all fried up in one pan. It's delicious. This a a summertime take on this one-dish staple. Instead of pan-frying it, you skewer it and grill. Drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and pepper after grilling if desired.

I tried these kabobs at a friend's barbecue and asked for the recipe. Marinating them overnight really gives the flavor a chance to soak in. They make a tangy light meal served with fruited rice pilaf. -Marilyn Rodriguez of Fairbanks, Alaska
