KOFTA MEATLOAF



Kofta Meatloaf image

This is a variation on meatloaf which is easy and delicious. I modified the recipe from Simply In Season. It's great hot, but also as part of a pita the next day. You can sub ground lamb for the ground beef if you want.

GRILLED KOFTA KEBABS

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling. To make lamb and turkey koftas at the same time, combine all the ingredients except the meat first, then transfer half the mixture to another bowl and add one pound of each meat to each bowl.

Time 2h

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds ground lamb or dark-meat turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt (or 2 1/4 teaspoons, if using ground turkey)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pita Bread; assorted accompaniments; sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion; and mint sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, gently stir together meat, onion, parsley, oil, cumin seeds, cinnamon, salt, and pepper just to combine (do not overmix). Form 1/4 cup of meat mixture into a 3-inch-long oval and place on a rimmed baking sheet brushed with oil. Repeat with remaining mixture. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Heat grill for direct heat (or a grill pan over medium-high). Thread each meat oval onto a skewer. Brush grill grates with oil. Grill kebabs, turning as needed, until cooked through and charred in spots, and a thermometer inserted in middles (avoiding skewers) registers 140 degrees (for medium-rare) for lamb, 6 to 8 minutes; or 165 degrees for turkey, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with pitas and accompaniments.

TURKEY KOFTA KABOBS



Turkey Kofta Kabobs image

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.

1 small onion, minced

¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground paprika

salt to taste

Steps:

  • Divide turkey mixture into twelve 1/4-cup portions, roll into log-shaped ovals, and place on a baking sheet.
