Keto friendliness

Turkish cuisine is moderately adaptable to keto, requiring conscious choices to avoid common carb-heavy staples.

Top ingredients

Grilled lamb, beef, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese (beyaz peynir), plain yogurt, olives, olive oil, eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens are excellent keto staples.

Danger zones

Explicitly avoid all bread (pide, simit), rice pilaf, bulgur (kısır, çiğ köfte), potatoes, most legumes, and all desserts like baklava.

Best for

This cuisine works best for high-protein keto dieters and those comfortable with modifying dishes and asking for grain-free options.

What to drink

Drinks you will see at Turkish restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
