Turkey Kofta Kebabs

These easy Turkey Kofta Kebabs are a great protein option to have in your repertoire for a fast and easy meal. The spice blend is what makes these really shine! They can also be formed into meatballs, burgers, or simply cooked ground if you don’t have an air-fryer or grill. I’ve used frozen ground turkey here, which seemed to have a bit more moisture and fat than the fresh options I’ve tried., leading to a nicer texture.

 
 

ingredients

  • Frozen Ground Turkey

  • Yellow Onion

  • Parsley

  • Salt

  • Spices - cumin, paprika, cinnamon, black pepper

  • Skewers (optional)

How to make Turkey kofta kebabs

Step 1: Mix together finely diced onions and parsley in a medium bowl. Option to finely chop in a food processor.

Step 2: Add ground turkey, salt and spices to the onion/parsley mixture. Mix by hand to evenly distribute the spices and form the mixture into a sausage shape. Insert a skewer if using.

Step 3: Grill for 5 minutes on each side. Alternatively, air fry at 400F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 4: Serve as is with Tzatziki or with a salad and brown rice.
