Place the bulgar wheat in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let it soak for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Finely chop the onion and fresh parsley.
In a large bowl, combine the soaked bulgar, lean ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, ground cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then take a small amount of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into oval patties.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of each kebbeh with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the kebbeh is cooked through and lightly browned, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Serve the low fat kebbeh warm with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
