Ground turkey is leaner and less expensive than lamb.

Start with 1 kilogram of ground lamb in a bowl.

Finely dice 1 red onion and add it to the bowl.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of dried garlic to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika to the mixture.

Add 1 heaped teaspoon of ground cumin to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme to the bowl.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of ground rosemary to the mixture.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for some kick.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Chop 2 tablespoons of pistachio kernels until they are coarse and add to the bowl.

Chop about 0.5 cup of fresh parsley and add it to the mixture.

Chop about 0.25 cup of fresh mint and add it to the bowl.

Chop a handful of green onion and add it to the mixture.

Add a splash of olive oil to the bowl and mix everything together thoroughly.

Form the mixture into balls, aiming for baseball-sized portions.

Weigh the balls; they should be around 170 grams each.

If the balls are not cold enough, refrigerate them to prevent them from falling off the skewers.

Shape the balls into logs for skewering, ensuring they are well-formed and stick together.

Skewer the logs onto skewers, making sure they are cold enough to hold their shape.
