Delicious served with hot rice. This recipe works better if you use flattened skewers so that the meat doesn't roll when you turn it. Overnight chilling not included in preparation time. Use a spacer between the grill grates and the skewers to prevent meat sticking or spray the grates liberally with cooking spray before heating the grill.

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.

TURKEY KUBIDEH (PERSIAN GROUND MEAT KABOB)



Turkey Kubideh (Persian Ground Meat Kabob) image

When we go to our favorite Iranian restaurant, my wife usually orders Chicken Kubideh. Here's my go at it, but using turkey instead. I add butter, because ground turkey is so fat-free that the kabobs could come out dry. I use my gas grill, but feel free to use a charcoal BBQ or broil indoors.

Time 50m

Yield 4 kabobs, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 tablespoon margarine
1 medium onion
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Steps:

  • drain juice from onion - place onion into mixing bowl.
  • Add all the other ingredients. mix well.
  • divide result into 4 portions, and roll each into 9 inch long rolls, and skewer using metal skewers. Before skewering, check to see if the meat mixture breaks when bent. if it does, you'll need to add a little more flour and re-mix the meat mixture - otherwise it will fall off the skewer. Don't add too much flour. it's not a cake.
  • grill the meat until done over medium heat.
  • Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of ground lamb and ground beef.
  • Don't overmix the meat; this will make the kebabs tough.
  • Make sure the grill is hot before cooking the kebabs.
  • Cook the kebabs over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a yogurt sauce.
