add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes before adding the vinegar, cherries and orange juice. - Simmer the blend for 5 minutes until the cherries start to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring the pot until everything is fully blended.
- Allow the pot to gently simmer for a further 20 minutes before using your immersion blender to liquefy the sauce.
- Allow the sauce to cool before storing in a jar or applying to your turkey and vegetables.
- Add the butter and onions to a sauce pan. Simmer on low heat until the onions soften, then
- Place bamboo skewers in a bowl of water until ready to use.

- Remove turkey from grill and cut into large cubes, leaving the grill on. Cut yellow peppers into large pieces.
- Thread turkey, yellow peppers, and mushrooms onto skewers. Cover generously with BBQ sauce.
