Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground beef
• 300 grams Ground turkey
• 1 large Egg
• 50 grams Oatmeal
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground turkey. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Add the oatmeal, chopped onion, minced garlic, and a cracked egg to the meat mixture. Stir thoroughly.

Step 3

Season the mixture with paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until the spices are evenly distributed, and the mixture is sticky.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into small logs or sausage shapes, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, place the chevapchichi in the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook each batch for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned on all sides and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked chevapchichi from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, like yogurt sauce, fresh salad, or pita bread.
