Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
- 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, chickpea flour, chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, and mint.
Add the spices: ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the turkey mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Remove the turkey mixture from the refrigerator. With damp hands, take a golf-ball-sized portion of the mixture and mold it evenly around each skewer to form a long, cylindrical shape.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until they start to brown, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side. Ensure the kababs are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Serve the heart-healthy seekh kababs hot, garnished with additional chopped mint and lemon wedges on the side.
