Turkey Kebabs

I am constantly looking for new recipes to try.  I look in magazines, I ask friends, I go to blogs, and I check out cookbooks from the library.  Do you do that?  It is kind of dangerous for me since there is a good chance that I may ruin the borrowed cookbook while I am cooking.  I am the type of cook who makes a mess wherever she goes - touches pages with wet and yucky hands, spills spices, splatters oil, etc.  So when I check out a cookbook from the library, I try to keep it on the opposite side of the kitchen.  It appears that this time, it worked!  The cookbook has survived without a burn or a smudge!

This recipe comes from "The Primal Blueprint Cookbook" by Mark Sisson.  It was a fun and easy recipe to make.  If you do not like cumin, I would skip this recipe or omit it!

Turkey Kebabs
adapted from "The Primal Blueprint Cookbook"

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground turkey breast
1 garlic cloves
1 T olive oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp or less cayenne pepper

2 T finely chopped parsley

1 T finely chopped mint

Instructions:

If you are using wooden skewers, soak them for about 15-20 mins to prevent burning.  Pre-heat your grill or skillet to med-high heat.  Spray grill or skillet with cooking spray.  Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl.  Form elongated turkey meatballs with the mixture.  Thread the elongated meatballs onto the skewers and immediately place on the grill or skillet.  Cook for 6-8 mins and then flip to cook the other side for a similar amount of time.
