Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the harissa, olive oil, preserved lemon, cilantro, parsley, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey cubes and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.
  • Thread the marinated turkey pieces onto skewers, spacing them slightly apart to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning regularly, until the turkey is well-charred and reaches an internal temperature of 165F (74C).
  • Meanwhile, place the peppers, onions, and tomatoes directly on the barbecue grate. Cook until the skins are well-charred and the vegetables are tender. Let them cool slightly, then remove the skins and seeds from the peppers.
  • Finely chop all the vegetables and place them in a bowl. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Divide the grilled vegetable salad among plates and top with the hot turkey skewers. Serve immediately.
