Preparation:
1. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
2. Add the Binders: Add the egg and Greek yogurt to the mixture. Mix gently until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough kebabs.
3. Shape the Kebabs: Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, thin kebab.
4. Grill the Kebabs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
5. Serve: Serve the kebabs hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, pita bread, or a refreshing cucumber yogurt salad.
Total Time: 30 minutes
