  • Kitchen scales

Before you start

Ingredients

Tick off ingredients as you go.

  • 400 g turkey mince
  • 2 tbsp of Mix Herbs
  • 3 tbsp of Turmeric
  • Leeks (Frozen)
  • 90g Tinned/Normal/Frozen Mushrooms
  • 1 Chopped/crushed Garlic Clove
  • 3 tsp Tomato Puree
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/2 – 1 cup of water (note: the more water added the more the flavour is diluted)

How to make it

Allow about 1–2 minutes to prepare and 17–25 minutes to cook.

  1. Heat the vegetables

    Preheat the wok over medium-high heat. Cook the leeks and frozen or fresh mushrooms over high heat for around 4–5 minutes.

  2. Add the turkey

    Add the turkey mince and stir until it is sealed on the outside.

  3. Season

    Add the salt, pepper and turmeric and mix.

  4. Make the sauce

    Add the tomato purée, a small cup of water, the chopped garlic and a sprinkle of mixed herbs. The ingredient list allows ½–1 cup of water; more water dilutes the flavour. Adjust water and tomato purée according to how much sauce you want and how thick you like it.

  5. Finish cooking

    Cook for around 8–10 minutes, adjusting the cooking time for the sauce consistency.

Before you start

Ingredients

Tick off ingredients as you go.

  • 400g Mince Turkey
  • 80g Spring Onion
  • 3 large tbsp Turmeric
  • 2 tbsp Sumac (+ more for serving)
  • 4 large tsp Tomato Puree
  • 2 tsp Salt

How to make it

Allow about 5–7 minutes to prepare. Cooking takes 30–35 minutes for a 1–2 cm layer; the original range is 30–45 minutes depending on thickness.

  1. Prepare the oven and onions

    Preheat the oven to 170°C. Chop the spring onions into very small pieces.

  2. Mix

    Thoroughly mix the turkey mince, spring onions, turmeric, tomato purée, sumac and salt in the bowl.

  3. Fill the tray

    Spread the mixture in the baking tray to an even thickness.

  4. Bake

    Place in the centre of the preheated oven. A 1–2 cm layer takes about 30–35 minutes; thicker kebabs take longer, within the original 30–45-minute guidance. Adjust the timing for thickness.

  5. Finish and serve

    Sprinkle more sumac over the cooked kebab, cut it into strips and serve with rice.
