Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 4 cloves garlic; 1/3 cup fresh mint; 1/3 cup fresh parsley; 1 tbsp zaatar seasoning; 2 lbs ground turkey; 2 tbsp olive oil cooking spray; 1 cup hummus; 1 cup plain greek yogurt (or Labneh); 6 mini cucumbers (quartered length wise); 1 bunch radish (washed thoroughly); 10 small dolmas (stuffed grape leaves); 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts; 2 limes (cut into small wedges); fresh mint leaves (to garnish)

Place the garlic, mint, parsley and za’atar in a food processor and process.

Add the ground turkey and process on low just until combined

With scoops of about 1 ½ Tbsp of the turkey mixture, form an oblong ball around the skewer (you’ll need about 16-18 small skewers, soaked in water prior if using wood skewers)

Place the skewers on a tray that fits in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes prior to cooking

Heat grill to medium/high. Once heated, remove skewers from the fridge and brush or spray with oil

Place skewers on the grill and allow to cook for roughly 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and internal temperature reads 165°F

While skewers are cooking, assemble platter. Placing hummus and yogurt in separate bowls. Toasted pine nuts in a small serving dish to garnish, place fresh veggies on platter, with dolmas, lime wedges and forks and spoons for serving

Once kofta are finished cooking, place them on the platter and serve!
