These turkey kofta kebabs were introduced to me about 20 years ago by my Persian neighbor. I never actually got his recipe, but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors, and these came pretty close. He made them with beef but using turkey instead makes these a lot lighter.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil for grill
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small onion , minced
  • 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 0.25 teaspoons chopped green chile pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoons chili powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Combine turkey, onion, cilantro, egg, garlic, chile pepper, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix thoroughly. Divide mixture into twelve 1/4-cup portions; roll into log-shaped ovals and place on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Grill ovals over indirect heat, turning occasionally, until no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
