Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground turkey, diced onion, bread crumbs, and chopped cilantro.
- Add a pinch of cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mixture. If it holds together, you don't need to use an egg.
- Place the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.
- Shape the turkey mixture into elongated kebabs around the skewers. Wet your hands to make this easier.
- Preheat your oven to a high grill setting (around 400-450°F).
- Place a drying rack on a baking sheet and arrange the kebab skewers on top.
- Grill the kebabs for 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully.
- Warm the pita bread in the oven for a few minutes or in a toaster.
- To assemble the pita, start by spreading a spoonful of tahini sauce on the pita's inner surface.
- Place a couple of the cooked turkey kebabs on the sauce.
- Drizzle some harissa for a spicy kick.
- Add a few pickles if desired.
- Sprinkle more fresh cilantro over the kebabs. Drizzle with lemon juice.
- Carefully roll up the pita, enclosing the ingredients snugly.
- Enjoy your tasty turkey kebab pita!
