These Ground Beef Kababs from Out Grilling, or burgers on a stick, are tender, juicy, and full of flavor. So for this recipe, Milisa uses her ground chile rub that’s full of brown sugar, onion flakes, onion powder, and more. And the burger itself has onion and egg and is topped with fresh parsley.

Shish Tawook

Instead of chicken breast, which can be unforgiving, Safira of Tiffin And Teal uses chicken thighs in her Shish Tawook because they are “gloriously juicy.” We couldn’t agree more! The rest of the recipe includes flavor-enhancing ingredients like yogurt, lemon, tomato sauce, and lots of spices.

Ground Turkey Kababs

I am not going to lie. If I had to choose between shredded beef recipes and ground turkey recipes, it would be the former. That’s because turkey is easy to overcook and becomes dry and unappetizing.
