1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and all spices. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small oval patties or compact portions suitable for skewers.
3. Thread turkey pieces onto skewers, alternating with bell peppers and onion.
4. Preheat grill or pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
5. Cook kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and nicely browned.
6. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the turkey to keep the kabobs tender and juicy.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Let the kabobs rest after cooking to lock in juices and improve flavor.
