It had been a while since I had made tepsi kebab, and a free Saturday was a good opportunity to cook a family favourite! I substitute ground turkey for the traditional beef, and restrain myself on the spice level (to keep it a familiar favourite)...
I finely mince red and orange bell peppers, red onion, garlics, and parsley (I cheat, using a mini food processor), then let it drain in a paper towel-lined colander to get rid of excess moisture. I mix in the meat, salt, black pepper, Penzey's Turkish spice, and a shake of cinnamon, then mix by hand.
I oil a deep-dish pizza pan, then dump in half the meat mixture, and pat it out to cover the bottom.
Cover the meat with slices of cheese (I used mozzarella).
Then cover the cheese with the remaining meat and pat it out to cover evenly. Cover with leftover peppers and onions, and I added mushrooms sauteed with garden-fresh thyme:
Slap it in a hot (375F) oven until it is hotter than 180F, about an hour:
Yum! Veg and meat cooked together, you really don't need another vegetable unless you want one. Tasty, easy (if you use a food chopper or processor) and reasonably healthy too!
