Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, onion, and mince the garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and onion.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the spices and vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the turkey mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a long, sausage-like kebap around a skewer, pressing firmly so that the mixture adheres well.
Place the skewered kebaps on the preheated grill.
Grill the kebaps for about 7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have a slight char on the outside.
Warm the whole wheat pitas briefly on the grill, if desired.
Serve each Adana Kebap with a warmed whole wheat pita on the side. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
