Turkey Kofta Kabobs Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Turkey Recipes. (Turkey Kofta Kabobs Recipe). My Persian neighbor introduced me to kofta about 20 years ago. His were made of beef and I never actually got his recipe but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors and these came pretty close...and of course using turkey instead of beef makes these a lot lighter.
