Instructions Table
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, lean ground beef, bread crumbs, finely chopped onions, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, mix until well combined, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed. |
| 2 | Once the mixture is thoroughly blended, divide it into four equal portions, which will form the kebabs. |
| 3 | Take each portion of the meat mixture and pat it around a metal skewer, shaping it into a log that is approximately 1 inch thick and 7 to 8 inches long. Flat skewers are recommended for ease of handling during grilling. |
| 4 | Preheat your barbecue grill, ensuring it’s lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Lay the skewers over a solid bed of hot coals or over high heat on a gas grill, which should be hot enough that you can only hold your hand at grill level for 2 to 3 seconds. Close the lid on a gas grill to maintain heat. |
| 5 | Cook the kebabs for about 7 to 8 minutes, rotating them occasionally to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. To check for doneness, cut into the center of one kebab; they should no longer be pink. |
| 6 | If desired, about 1 minute before the kebabs are done, brush them lightly with your sauce of choice, allowing the flavors to meld as they finish cooking. |
| 7 | Once fully cooked, carefully remove the kebabs from the grill. Allow them to rest for a moment before serving. Enjoy these delicious kebabs warm, paired with your favorite sides or sauces. |
These Turkey-Beef Kebabs are a perfect choice for a family gathering or an outdoor adventure, promising to impress your guests with their rich flavors and satisfying texture. Enjoy the flexibility of customization, as you can play with different sauces or side dishes to complement this delightful dish.
