Method

Preheat the grill to medium-high and line the grill pan with foil.
On a metal skewer place one bay leaf, one lemon wedge and one turkey piece and repeat. Divide the remaining bay leaves, lemon wedges and turkey pieces between another seven skewers.
Place all eight skewers on the prepared grill rack.
Mix the lemon juice, dried parsley, oregano, garlic salt and red chilli flakes together. Brush this mixture over the skewers and place them under the grill, about 14cm from the grill source, for 3-5 minutes.
Turn the skewers, brush with more of the lemon mixture and grill for another 3-5 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through.
Serve the turkey skewers warm or at room temperature with a mixed salad.
