  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper  

Instructions

  • Form kebab meat onto skewers.
  • Bake kebabs at 400°F for 25-35 minutes (flip halfway).

Tips & Tricks

Refrigerate mince turkey mixture for 30 mins. Colder mince is sturdier to form kebabs. Use wet/oiled hands to form kebabs. Make sure the skewers are dry to help the meat mixture stick. If the mixture is too wet, add breadcrumbs to help the kebab hold together.
