Instructions
0 To a bowl, add the ground turkey (or chicken), grated onion, garlic, and spices. 1 Dissolve the baking soda in the sparkling water (it should fizzle). Add it in and mix well. 2 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.” 3 Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. 4 Note: You can also flash freeze these, add to a freezer bag and use any time. 5 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. 6 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.View original recipe
