Adana-Inspired Turkey-Lamb Kebabs
- 1/2 pound ground lamb
- 1/2 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Turkish red pepper paste
- 2 teaspoons ground sumac
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon water
- Ritually fire up your grill of choice.
- In a chilled bowl, combine the lamb, turkey, and next 7 ingredients (through salt). Mix by hand, but don't mush. If you can, refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Using long, flat skewers, mold the meat around the skewers to make long, flat paddles, about 1 1/4-inch wide, and thick enough to hold together. You'll feel when it does.
- Distribute the meat among 4 skewers. Contemplate why you didn't double the recipe and invite more guests.
- Grill the kebabs for about 3 minutes on each side, turning only when you feel confident that the meat is sufficiently cooked and certain to Not. End. Up. Down. There. Ugh.
- Remove to a platter. Either leave the kebabs on the skewer, or not.
- In a small bowl, thin out the yogurt with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Serve with the yogurt and Mint and Sumac "Salsa".
