TURKEY KOFTA KABOBS

My Persian neighbor introduced me to kofta about 20 years ago. His were made of beef and I never actually got his recipe but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors and these came pretty close...and of course using turkey instead of beef makes these a lot lighter.

GROUND CHICKEN/TURKEY KOFTA KEBABS



Ground Chicken/Turkey Kofta Kebabs image

This is a light recipe that is awesome on the taste buds. It is very easy and quick to make and goes nicely along with couscous. You can play around with the vegetable ingredients till you get the right mixture, so those are estimates. I usually get a stir fry mix with peppers and onion and use 1 cup and mince it in a cuisine art chopper. I usually form them on metal skewers and remove them when cooking since my grill is too small.

  • Chill the ground turkey mixture: Chilling the ground turkey mixture before forming it into kabobs will help to keep the kabobs from falling apart on the grill.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any type of vegetables that you like in your kabobs. Some popular choices include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: Grilling the kabobs over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Baste the kabobs with sauce: Basting the kabobs with sauce while they are grilling will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
