For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or sumac to the mixture. Serve these kebabs with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh mint, and a side of warm pita bread or rice. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the kebabs in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. To prevent sticking, lightly oil your hands before forming the kebabs.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, minced onion, cilantro, beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped green chile pepper, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the kebabs tender. (5 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Divide the mixture into twelve equal portions (about 1/4 cup each). With slightly damp hands, roll each portion into a log-shaped oval. Place the formed kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (10 minutes)
04
Step
30 mins
Grill the kebabs over indirect heat, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until they are no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 165°F (74°C). (25-30 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving
