Turkish Chicken Kababs


This is a recipe I got years ago off of an Italian cooking show. I just roughly wrote it down and tried it a few days later. We all loved it and I've been making it ever since. I mostly do it on the bar-b-que, but it turns out quite well under the broiler as well. Feel free to experiment with different meats and veggies.


Turkish Kababs


1 container of plain yogurt

1 tsp. of each tumaric, cumin, salt and cinnamon

2 cloves of garlic, crushed and minced

pepper to taste

1 tbsp. lemon juice

chicken breast, cut in cubes

vegetables, peeled, and chopped into bit size pieces

(I usually use onion, zuchini, mushroom, cherry tomatoes)


mix all of the spices and juice into the yogurt. Assemble kababs on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for about 1/2 hour, or use metal skewers. Put kababs on a shallow pan and pour yogurt mixture over them. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Cook them on grill about 20 minutes each side or under broiler for about the same turning until veggies are soft and meat is cooked.
