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:
  • ground turkey: 1 pound
  • onion: 1 piece (minced)
  • fresh cilantro: 0.25 cup (chopped)
  • egg: 1 piece
  • garlic: 2 clove (minced)
  • green chili pepper: 0.25 tsp (chopped)
  • ground coriander: 0.25 tsp
  • ground paprika: 0.25 tsp
  • chili powder: 0.25 tsp
  • salt: (to taste)

  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. 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).
