Substitutions & Experimentation
Use this as a base recipe for multiple types of kebabs: use ground turkey, ground beef or mix any ground meats together.
Optional – Use a ridged griddle to sear on medium–high heat before placing in oven for the grill marks you see in the photo. It takes a minute or so to get the marks to show on the kebab.
Increase the jalapeño if you enjoy a little more heat or reduce/eliminate if you prefer less.
These kebabs pair well with your favorite salads.
