My cilantro and chilli turkey kabobs are reminiscent of my mom’s, but they get an extra punch of protein from the eggs and almond meal. Plus, they are made with ground turkey breast, which is around 98% fat-free. A common myth is that ground turkey is much better for us than beef, and it is on many levels (sat fat), but calorie-wise, it just isn’t so! So that’s why I go for ground turkey breast here.
This cilantro and chilli turkey kabobs recipe is super fast, super tasty, and super easy. You simply blend all the ingredients but the meat, eggs, and almond meal. Then combine everything together and hit the grill!
