Caprese Turkey Skewers with Mozzarella, Basil & Tomato

All the fresh flavor of a Caprese salad, with a little extra protein and absolutely no cooking required.

These low-carb Caprese Turkey Skewers combine tender deli turkey, creamy mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. A drizzle of olive oil and cracked black pepper finishes everything beautifully.

They're quick enough for an afternoon snack and pretty enough for a party platter. We love a recipe that knows how to multitask.

A few tricks for beautiful skewers

• Keep everything bite-sized. Choose small mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes so each skewer is easy to pick up and enjoy.

  
  

• Pat the mozzarella dry. Removing excess moisture keeps the presentation fresh and prevents a watery platter.

  
  

• Let the basil shine. Use fresh, vibrant leaves and fold larger ones gently rather than tearing them.

  
  

• Finish just before serving. A light drizzle of olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper brings everything together without making the skewers messy.

Make ahead without the fuss

Assemble the skewers a few hours ahead and refrigerate them in a covered container. Add the olive oil and black pepper just before serving.

Pair them with Turkey–Cucumber Pinwheels, Smoky Stuffed Eggs, or Chicken Salad Pepper Boats for a colorful low-carb snack platter.

Simple ingredients. Beautiful results. That's the sweet spot.
