Method

  1. Drain the pineapple juice into a large bowl. Put the fruit in another bowl; cover and chill for later. Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey and garlic into the pineapple juice and season well. Mix in the diced turkey, then cover and chill for 1hr, or up to 24hrs. Soak 12 large, wooden bamboo skewers in cold water for 15 mins while the turkey marinates.
  2. Light the barbecue at least 40 mins before cooking. It’s ready when the large flames have died down, and the coals are white and ashy. Alternatively, preheat the grill to medium-high.
  3. Cut the onions and pineapple into bite-sized pieces, breaking up any larger pieces of onion. Alternately thread the marinated turkey, onion and pineapple onto the soaked skewers, dividing equally. Discard any leftover marinade.
  4. Place the skewers on the barbecue or under the grill and cook for 10-15 mins, turning every few mins, until the turkey is golden and cooked through and the onion is tender. Serve on a warm platter, garnished with chopped parsley, if you like.
