Ingredients

1 pound ground bison
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoon minced onion
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoon cumin
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of cayenne
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
olive oil, as needed
tzatziki sauce, for serving

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the ground bison with the onion, cilantro, and seasonings. On 2 greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, divide the mixture into roughly 20 balls. Wrap each ball around 20 skewers and shape the bison mixture into elongated pieces about 3 inches long around the skewers. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and let the kebabs chill for at least 2 hours.
After 2 hours, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grease the grill grates with olive oil and, working in batches, add the skewers to the grill. Cook the skewers, turning occasional, until charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
