Don’t let this long list of ingredients get you nervous. It’s lots of herbs and spices—which are critical ingredients for giving Middle Eastern food its fabulous flavor. For the herbs, you'll need some fresh parsley and mint, and for the spices, you'll need ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, and allspice. All of these spices should find a spot in your pantry, as you'll find yourself reaching for them for a hit of flavor over and over again for many different recipes. They beautifully complement the ground turkey and grated onions for this recipe, as well as the tomatoes and zucchini that are threaded onto the skewers as well.

  6. Serve skewers over rice, drizzled with yogurt sauce.
  7. Serving size: 1 skewer each kofte and vegetables, 1/2 c rice, 2 Tbsp yogurt sauce
