In a large bowl, gently mix ground turkey, minced garlic, parsley, grated onion, lemon zest and juice, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until just combined and clingy.

Cover the mixture, then refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.

Preheat a grill or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (around 400°F) and brush lightly with oil.

With damp hands, divide the chilled mixture into 8 portions and roll into uniform ovals or balls.

Place koftas on the hot surface, cooking 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the koftas to a plate and let them rest covered for 5 minutes.
