Turkey Kubideh (Persian Ground Meat Kabob) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 tablespoon margarine
1 medium onion
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Peel onion, grate in food processor (or by hand, but it can get messy and teary).
drain juice from onion - place onion into mixing bowl.
Add all the other ingredients. mix well.
divide result into 4 portions, and roll each into 9 inch long rolls, and skewer using metal skewers. Before skewering, check to see if the meat mixture breaks when bent. if it does, you'll need to add a little more flour and re-mix the meat mixture - otherwise it will fall off the skewer. Don't add too much flour. it's not a cake.
grill the meat until done over medium heat.
Serve over rice.
