North African Turkey Kebabs

I love these so much! I hope you do too.  Aside from my editorial comments, this recipe is straight from Weight Watchers online recipes.  It has no variations.  I usually serve these over a bed of couscous with grilled or sauteed fresh veggies.  Zuchinni pairs particularly well with them.   If you don't want to fool with kebabs, you can always just make them into patties eat them like a burger.

Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey breast
2 cloves minced garlic
2 T fresh chopped cilantro
1 T fresh lemon juice
2 tsp ginger root, peeled and grated
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Divide into 4 parts and form each part into  a 5 inch by 1.5 inch cylinder.  Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.  (Don't skip this step or you will regret it!  Crumbly kebabs are not fun.)  After chilled, run a skewer through each kebab lengthwise.  (If using wooden skewers, make sure that they have been soaked in water for at least 10 minutes.)  Spray grill with non stick spray and preheat.   Cook kebabs for 3 minutes on each side over medium heat, or until done.
