2 TBSP dried parsley
¼ c. apricot preserves

Sauce:
8 oz. Greek Yogurt
2 TBSP chopped red onion
¼ c. chopped cucumber—no seeds
1 tsp lime juice
½ tsp garlic powder

In a small bowl, combine apricot preserves and sriracha sauce.  Set aside.

In a bowl, combine onion, mango, jalapeno, cabbage, lime juice, feta cheese, and a dash of salt.  Set aside.
In a blender, combine yogurt, onion, cucumber, lime juice, salt, and garlic powder.  Blend until smooth.  Pour into a bowl and set aside while grilling kebabs.

In a bowl, combine turkey, onion, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, parsley, and garlic powder.  Using an ice cream scoop, form large meatballs.  Put 2 meatballs per skewer and press to slightly flatten.  Heat gas grill to 400 degrees or a charcoal grill until coals burn orange.  Place turkey skewers on grill.  Grill for 3-5 minutes or until lightly charred. Turn kebabs.  Brush grilled side with apricot sauce.  Grill for an additional 1-2 minutes.  Turn and brush with remaining apricot sauce.  Remove from heat.

Place naan bread on grill for 30 seconds, just to soften.  Cut naan in half to create 4 pieces.

To serve…
Spoon approximately ¼ c. slaw onto each naan.  Place 2 kebabs per naan.  Drizzle with yogurt sauce.  Using a bamboo skewer, pierce the top of each sandwich to hold together or wrap sandwiches in foil.  Serve immediately.
