Begin by finely chopping the red bell pepper and red onion and grating the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground lean beef, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, grated garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring all spices and vegetables are well distributed.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Wet your hands slightly with water to prevent the mixture from sticking and mold each portion around the skewers, shaping them evenly and ensuring they're firmly attached.
Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides, until the kebabs are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
Serve the high protein Adana kebabs hot with your choice of accompaniments such as flatbread, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
