Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 8 Skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, chickpea flour, chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, and mint.

Step 2

Add the spices: ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until well combined.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the turkey mixture.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before use to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove the turkey mixture from the refrigerator. With damp hands, take a golf-ball-sized portion of the mixture and mold it evenly around each skewer to form a long, cylindrical shape.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until they start to brown, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side. Ensure the kababs are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Step 8

Serve the heart-healthy seekh kababs hot, garnished with additional chopped mint and lemon wedges on the side.
