This savory dinner is high in protein and flavor. This Mediterranean dinner is easy to put together and tastes amazing. The turkey kebabs are high in protein, and the rest of the plate is filled with savory, fiber-filled veggies. It's very satisfying without the waist-expanding carbs that most dinners are filled with.

1 1/2 lb turkey breast, de-boned, trimmed of skin and cut into thin strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp olive oil
2 eggs
1/4  cup almond meal (more if needed)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Dash salt (optional)
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

In a food processor, blend the turkey strips until ground. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well blended.

Preheat your grill or grill pan.

Lightly grease your hands, then press the meat into the wooden skewers until it covers about  3-4 inches in an elongated meatball shape. If the meat is not sticking then add some more almond meal.

Grill for about 8 minutes per side.
