A fantastic Mediterranean flavor transforms lean ground turkey into these incredible, low calorie turkey kebabs. Completed with a fresh and tangy cucumber yogurt dipping sauce, this is one Grilling Recipe that is a wonderful alternative to traditional grilling fare.
Start by making the yogurt dip. Combine all dip ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside.
Now make the kebabs by combining all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix well.
Let the meat sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat grill to medium high heat. Form the meat onto 8 skewers.
Place skewers onto grill. Don’t flip or move them until the bottom side is cooked; the meat will easily release from the grill when it’s ready. If you force it too soon, the kebab will break apart.
When ready, gently flip over using a spatula. Cook until desired level of done-ness is reached. Remove from grill and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
Divide yogurt dipping sauce into 4 small bowls and serve with kebabs.
