PERSIAN TURKEY KOFTAS

PERSIAN TURKEY KOFTAS 

Serves 4

500g lean minced turkey
1 onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 slices WW bread made into bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon dried coriander
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon mint sauce
Salt and fresh pepper (to taste)

In a large bowl mix together all the kofta ingredients until evenly blended. Divide into 12 equal pieces and roll into log shaped ovals.  Place them on a baking tray and leave in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least 30 minutes before grilling.

When ready to eat, preheat the grill or barbecue to a high heat. If using skewers carefully insert them through through the kebabs.  

 Cook for 10 to 15 minutes turning occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink. 

Serve with pitta bread and cucumber and mint raita
