METHOD

1. In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients for the kebabs, except the olive oil, and mix well, until well combined and sticky.
2. Divide the turkey mixture into 12 equal portions and stick them onto the skewers.
3. Place them across the baking tray so the kebabs would not touch the bottom.
4. Bake in the oven preheated to 200°C (392°F) for about 35 – 45 minutes brushing kebabs in meantime at least twice with olive oil.

Makes 12 kebabs, allow 2-3 per serving.
