Spicy Turkey Kabobs
- Yield 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked bulgur
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey (7 percent fat)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 12 skewers (6 inches each)
Instructions
- Place bulgur and water in a small bowl and soak for 30 minutes. Place the remaining kabob ingredients in a large bowl; mix well. Drain the bulgur in a sieve to remove excess liquid. Add to the turkey mixture and mix. (There will be about 3 cups of mixture.) Form into 36 1 1⁄2-inch meatballs.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Thread 3 meatballs per skewer, leaving about 1⁄2′ between each meatball. Place skewers on nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until no longer pink. To serve, place 2 skewers on each plate. Serve with cucumber and tomato and hummus.
Got leftovers? Try a kabob sandwich: Place 3 meatballs in a small whole wheat pita with shredded lettuce and tomato slices.
