In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, parsley, and mint. Mix with your hands until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1 minute — do not overwork.

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions (about 2 oz each). Roll each portion into a compact oval about 3 inches long, pressing firmly so the kofta holds together.
