Cooking Steps
- Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then grate half the onion. Cut remaining onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add turkey, panko, grated onions, half the garlic, half the garlic salt and half the Shawarma Spice Blend to a medium bowl.
- Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 6 (12) oval logs.
- Add peppers, zucchini, diced onions, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Season with remaining garlic salt, then toss to combine.
- Arrange veggies in a single layer. Place koftas on top of veggies.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until veggies are tender and koftas are cooked through, 14-20 min.**
- Meanwhile, add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
