Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Skewers
- Grill or broiler
- Spatula
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 20 oz 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 small onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp bread crumbs
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- Salt to taste
- fresh pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by mincing the onion and garlic. Chop the fresh parsley finely. This step is crucial as the freshness of the ingredients enhances the flavor of your kebabs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and bread crumbs.
- Add in the allspice, coriander, paprika, chili powder, salt, and fresh pepper. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as that can lead to tough kebabs.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them onto skewers. Aim for an elongated form, about 4-5 inches long, ensuring they are tightly packed to prevent falling apart during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through until they are cooked through and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the heat. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. These kebabs are fantastic served warm with your favorite sides!
Notes
- Store leftover kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze uncooked kebabs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container or bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat cooked kebabs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
