Kubideh is a type of Persian kebab made by grilling or frying ground meat on skewers. It is a popular dish in Iran, where it is served with bread or rice and a variety of salads or dips. Turkey Kubideh is a healthier version of the traditional recipe that uses lean ground turkey instead of lamb or beef. It is a perfect meal for a BBQ party or a family dinner, as it is easy to make and packed with flavor.

Instructions

1.	Grate the onion and set aside.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, margarine, flour, egg, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, and grated onion until well combined.
3.	Preheat the grill or a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
4.	Take a small portion of the meat mixture and shape it into a log or sausage-like shape around a skewer, making sure that the meat is evenly distributed on the stick.
5.	Repeat until all the meat mixture is used up, making around six skewers.
6.	Grill or fry the skewers until the meat is fully cooked and browned on all sides, turning occasionally and brushing with a little oil to prevent sticking.
7.	Serve hot with rice, bread, or a simple salad.
