• 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

Directions

1. 1

   Peel onion, grate in food processor (or by hand, but it can get messy and teary).

2. 2

   drain juice from onion - place onion into mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Add all the other ingredients. mix well.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   grill the meat until done over medium heat.

6. 6

   Serve over rice.
