Ingredients
For the kebabs:
- 1 small onion peeled and roughly chopped or finely diced
- 1 bunch parsley large stems removed
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs use plain or seasoned
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey, if preferred
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper adjust to taste
For the garlicky yogurt sauce:
- ½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt Greek or regular; can use fat-free or low-fat
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley leaves finely minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice from ½ lemon
- ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a large baking sheet with oil or line with parchment paper. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a small food processor, pulse the onion, parsley, and garlic until finely chopped and well combined. This will create some liquid; keep it and add to the chicken mixture.
- Alternatively, finely chop the onion, parsley, and garlic by hand.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, spices (coriander, allspice, cumin, cardamom), salt, pepper, and the onion mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Form the chicken mixture into elongated patties and slide a skewer through the middle of each patty. Use your hands to shape the kebabs around the skewers.
- Place the kebabs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving with the garlicky yogurt sauce, rice, and a side salad.
- For the garlicky yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve the sauce over the kebabs.
