1 red onion finely diced
1 chilli
1 teaspoon cumin
3 crushed garlic cloves
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons fat free natural yoghurt

Wholemeal pittas and salad leaves to serve
Method
First, finely chop the chilli and red onion, and crush the garlic clove
Add these to a mixing bowl with the turkey mince, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle over the cumin and coriander
Give everything a good mix, it's best to get stuck in and use your hands
Shape into long thin kebabs, and like up on a baking tray
Cook under a hot grill until cooked right though, turning half way through (15-20mins depending on how thick they are)
Meanwhile, finely chop up your mint, and mix it into the natural yoghurt with a squeeze of lemon juice
