Persian Ginger-Turmeric Chicken Kebabs with Herbed Yogurt Sauce

Persian-style kebabs traditionally start with a yogurt marinade, which tenderizes the chicken while carrying the flavor of turmeric, ginger, and garlic deep into the meat. Threaded onto skewers with onion and bell pepper and grilled until charred, they're served alongside a second, herb-flecked yogurt sauce for dipping.

Turmeric and ginger anchor the anti-inflammatory profile here, and lean chicken thighs keep the dish high in protein while the yogurt marinade helps keep the meat juicy without extra oil. Fresh dill, mint, and parsley in the sauce add their own antioxidant compounds along with a cooling contrast to the char from the grill.

These kebabs are naturally low-carb and come together easily for a weeknight dinner or a backyard grilling session with friends.
