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
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Peel onion, grate in food processor (or by hand, but it can get messy and teary).
  • 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.
