Ingredients
Baharat Spice Blend
- 1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 ½ tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Turkey
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 ½ tsp Baharat seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lb ground turkey
- ¼ cup pine nuts toasted
- 1 bunch cilantro small, freshly chopped
Tahini Dressing
- ⅓ cup tahini
- lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp honey
- kosher salt
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil & add the onions.
-
Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
-
Add the garlic and the Baharat, sauté for about a minute to release the oils and aromas from the spices.
-
Add the turkey and break it up as it browns. Cook for about 10 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and nicely browned.
-
Stir in the pine nuts & cilantro, remove from the heat and taste to adjust seasoning as required.
Tahini Dressing
-
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the tahini, lemon juice & honey. Whisk to combine.
-
Add a bit of water if necessary, to make the dressing creamy and pourable. The mixture may seize up and thicken at first, but continue adding water a little at a time and whisking until creamy and smooth.
-
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or honey for sweetness.
-
Serve the spiced turkey over steamed brown basmati rice, generously drizzled with the Tahini dressing, sprinkled with toasted pine nuts & more cilantro.
