To a bowl, add the ground turkey (or chicken), grated onion, garlic, and spices.
Dissolve the baking soda in the sparkling water (it should fizzle). Add it in and mix well.
Cover and let it sit overnight (or at least a few hours). Take a spoonful, shape into balls, then small logs to resemble the shape of “cevapi.”
Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Note: You can also flash freeze these, add to a freezer bag and use any time.
When you're ready to cook, preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (400F on the BBQ). Be sure to oil the grill grates prior to cooking.
To cook the cevapi, grill them over medium indirect heat until grill marks appear on all sides. Use a kitchen thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which should take about 15 minutes. The total cooking time will vary based on the size of the cevapi you have formed.
