Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large red pepper, thickly sliced
  • 450g British turkey mince
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon mild smoked paprika
  • 150mls red wine

Instructions

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200°C/400°F.

In a large roasting tin toss the onions and red pepper with 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together the turkey mince, egg , garlic and paprika and season well.

Divide the mixture in eight and using wet hands mould each into a 7-8cm sausage shape.

Thread 2 sausages onto each kebab stick and place on a non-stick baking tray.

Drizzle the koftas with the remaining olive oil and roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
