Greek Turkey Kabobs

Updated: Mar 6, 2023

These kabobs are like meatballs with a twist! This recipe is a crowd pleaser in my house. When my 12 year old daughter said, "This is the best meal I've had in a long time!", I knew this would make it to my regular meal rotation. These kabobs can be enjoyed on pita bread, with a salad, with roasted potatoes or even on a hot dog bun with summer side salads! They can be cooked on the BBQ or in the oven. This recipes is so versatile, you've got to give it a try!

Makes 10

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1 medium size carrot, shredded (approx. 1 cup)

1/2 cup oat flour*

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables and put in a large mixing bowl with the ground turkey.

  2. Add herbs, garlic and oat flour.

  3. Mix ingredients with your hands. I use food safe gloves for easy clean up.

  4. Form into small sausage shapes and slide wooden skewer through middle.

  5. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

  6. Let sit in fridge for 30 minutes (if you have the time)

  7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.

  9. Enjoy with tzatziki sauce.

* To make oat flour, simply pulse whole oats in a high power blender until it becomes the texture of wheat flour. Alternatively, you can buy oat flour.
