This is a lean spin on the traditional meat kebabs, which are typically high in fat and calories. Not only are these kebabs a lot healthier, but they are absolutely delicious and super easy to make!

In addition, they are awesome as leftovers (I love eating them cold) so make a bunch and keep for a quick grab-and-go snack.

Enjoy!

 


 

INGREDIENTS

• 20 oz 99% lean ground turkey, raw
• 10 oz 93% lean ground turkey, raw
• 2/3 cup chopped red and yellow pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup egg whites
• 1/3 cup oats
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tsp minched garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
You will need: 6 wooden skewers, soaked in water to prevent burning
 

PREPARATION

• Put red and yellow pepper, onion, egg whites, oats, and applesauce into a food processor and pulse a few times to blend.

• In a large mixing bowl combine pepper mixture, ground turkey, cheddar cheese, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper and mix well. (Get your hands in there and really mush it all together; the more the better!)

• Put in fridge and let sit for a few minutes.

• Remove turkey mixture from fridge and preheat oven to Broil setting.

• To assemble, evenly divide turkey mixture into 6 portions. Put water on your hands to prevent sticking. Take each portion and form around the skewers to form a sausage-like shape.

• Place the kebabs on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Broil in oven for about 6-8 minutes (or until fully cooked through), rotating halfway in order to evenly brown (note: you can also put these on the grill if you prefer). Enjoy!
