Sheet Pan Kofta

Sheet Pan Kofta is such an easy, delicious way to mix it up! It comes together super quick and can be eaten in so many different ways – wrap it up in a lavash with veggies, put it on a flatbread with tzatziki, or eat it straight up with a fork! The Kofta has so much flavor and stays juicy and tender while cooking. This is also a perfect option for prepping ahead for the week since you can make a large batch and then reheat when you’re ready to eat it. I prefer eating this in a wrap or pita with plenty of tzatziki, cucumber + tomatoes, kalamata olives, and hummus. I also love making this into a bowl when I am trying to get some more veggies in my day – think roasted veggies like carrots and broccoli and cauliflower!

Serves: 3-4

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Total Time: 45 Minutes

For the Kofta:

  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
  • 2 Tsp Minced Ginger
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tsp Cumin
  • 2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 1 Lemon, Juiced
  • 1/4 Cup Parsley, Finely Chopped

To Make:

  1. First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Next, grab a large mixing bowl and add in all of the ingredients and mix well. Set aside to let rest for about 10 minutes.
  3. When you are ready to cook, transfer the turkey to a sheet pan and press into a flat, rectangle that is about 2-3cm.
  4. Now, using a spatula (or you can use a dull knife), make a vertical line down the turkey every 1-1.5 inches. This will make it so you can break the turkey into long, skinny portions that are perfect for the pita.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check the turkey – you may need to drain any excess fat using paper towels just to prevent excess moisture. Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
  6. This next step is optional, but once the turkey is finished cooking, I like to remove it from the oven and set the oven to broil. When it is ready, place the turkey back in the oven for just 2 minutes to get the top a little crispy!
  7. Serve on a pita or flatbread with cucumbers, tomatoes, hummus, tzatziki or use them in a bowl with your favorite roasted vegetables!
