Turkey Kofta recipe

Gluten free wraps for 20p as opposed to £2.00 in the yellow sticker fridge were the foundation of this idea. We also had a pack of yellow sticker Turkey Sausages in the freezer which cost us £1.29 a few weeks ago. This was a good opportunity to use up some bits and bobs in the fridge. Things like ½ a pack of fresh Mint which was bought for a recipe, but was beginning to look a bit sad….

Ingredients for the Kofta:-

6 Turkey Sausages
½ A large Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of fresh Parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp of fresh Mint, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Smoked Paprika
½ Tsp of Cumin
½ Tsp of Cinnamon
½ Tsp of All Spice
½ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 Spring Onion, finely diced
Salt & Pepper

Ingredients for the Wrap filling:-

Grated mature Cheddar Cheese
2 Tomatoes, sliced
1 Red Onion, finely sliced
Brown Sauce (DIY Recipe here!)

Method:-

(1) If you are using wooden Skewers, soak them in water.
(2) Use a sharp knife to de-skin the Sausages.
(3) Mix all the ingredients and form into thick Sausage shapes.
(4) Push the skewer through the middle of Kofta lengthways.
(5) Place under the grill and turn regularly until they are slightly browned and cooked through.
(6) On a board remove the skewers and cut the Kofta into thin slices diagonally using a shape knife.
(7) Sprinkle the wraps with water and pop in the Microwave for a few seconds to soften.
(8) Add a little Brown Sauce, grated Cheese, sliced Onion, sliced Tomato. Avoid the ends so you can fold them in.
(9) Lay the sliced Kofta over the top.
(10) Fold the ends in and then wrap.
(11) Cut diagonally and serve.

We served these with home made Coleslaw, Wholegrain Mustard dressing, Killer Cucumber Pickle – All of which we already had made up – and hand cut chunky chips.
