Flavor is a 3 star-good not special. But it gets an extra star for being easy and healthy. I will make again. I served it w/ greek yogart-sooo good.

Pretty interesting. It's a very middle eastern flavor which might be too strong for Americans unused to such cooking. I like the idea of patties better than tubes and put yogurt cucumber sauce on. Actually I think it would even be good with mustard and sour pickles.

Pretty good. I liked, but, no one else was that crazy about it. I love shish kafta & these are kind of like it. I served the turkey tubes in pita bread (pulled apart so you just roll up everything in one side) with tomato, lettuce, tzatziki sauce & a thinly sliced pickle (like I get them back home). I would make these for myself again.

These are very good and easy to prepare. I think they take a little longer to cook than the recipe states. I just check them after about 10 minutes with a meat thermometer and put them back in for a few more minutes if needed. I have made them several times and have made a few additions according to my own personal tastes but they are still very good when made as the recipe directs. I grate about 4 T of onion on a cheese grater and add that to the ground turkey (I think this gives them a little more moisture, I do this when I make meat balls and hamburgers too). I also add about 1/2 cup of wheat bulger (plumped in warm water then drained) this adds a little lightness to the turkey and I think makes them bit more authentic. I up the seasonings just a bit to compensate for the addition of the bulger. Very good, quick and healthy dish. One of my favs!

I had to use up some ground turkey, followed this recipe to the "T", and we thought it was pretty darn good. i don't see why it can't be in hamburger form either. We liked the combination of spices a lot., thanks for the post.

I already rated this once before, but I had to write again! So good and so easy. I used plain yogurt mixed with mango chutney as a sauce and served with warm tortillias. Thank you so much. I only used about 3/4 of a teaspoon of each spice... perfect!UPDATE ON REVIEW: I now usually serve with warm whole wheat pita bread and mix the mango chutney with light sour cream....YUM!

YUMMY! I made these for dinner tonight and I LOVED them! I served them in a whole wheat pita with lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, and homemade lowfat tzatziki sauce. I only used about 3/4 teaspoon of each spice and subbed dried cilantro for the ground coriander because I didn't have coriander on hand. Absolutely fabulous, and healthy to boot! I'd make this recipe again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great recipe. Tried this last night and my husband didn't sound too enthused when I told him what I was making, but he was convinced afterwards. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly. Great flavor and something a lot more flavorful to do with ground turkey. I'm going to make a large batch next time and freeze some for lunches.

My husband and I ate these but didn''t really care for them. My kids wouldn't touch them. Lots of remarks about the unappetizing appearance.

Wonderful recipe! I followed the directions exactly, using the 1tsp of each spice. I hand-mixed it into the ground turkey early in the day to allow the flavors to blend. Even my 10 month old grandson could not get enough! Great tasting recipe!

These are really good! I made them for some skeptics a couple of weeks ago, and everyone enjoyed them. Quick and easy to prepare (mix well with your hands) and stayed moist - even left over the next day. Could use even more spices if you like a kick - not overpowering as is. Great way to have some flavorful protein without added fat!

Very yummy! My 5 year-old son ate two of them. I served it on flat bread with tzatziki, hummus and chopped tomatoes. I did put an egg into the meat mix because I accidentally broke one while putting them away. Seemed to hold the turkey together well. I will definitly make this one again.

We thought this was a great change from "the usual". I thought before I made them that it seemed like the recipe called for a lot of spices, but we decided after eating the meal that we wouldn't change any of the spices or amounts. The one thing we did do, was to check to see if they were done after 4 minutes in the oven and they were. We ate them in wholewheat pitas with Tzatziki sauce, and loved them! We will definitely make them again!

Different, not bad. Someone suggested 1 tsp per spice was too much - so I used a little less - mistake - lacked flavor. Next time. I'll follow the recipe. Good with Tahini or Spinach dip rolled in pita. Served it with a broccoli salad.

This had a great taste, but I didn't form it into tubes as directed. I ended up making this a loose meat sandwich, using pitas and a california style israeli salad from this site. The seasonings were great. I would recommend getting in there and using your hands to mix the seasonings in with the meat, I made the mistake of not doing that, and ran into spots of heavily seasoned meat.
