Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground turkey
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 finely minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Parsley
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped mint leaves.
Add the dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly using your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer, shaping it into a long kebab form, ensuring it adheres well.
Brush the kababs lightly with extra virgin olive oil to help them remain moist as they cook.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook each side for about 6-8 minutes or until they are fully cooked and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the kababs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Mediterranean diet seekh kababs with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
