How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Confirm the stuffing is made without rice ('düyüsuz' meaning 'without rice'). Some traditional recipes may include a small amount of rice, so verification is key.
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing (critical to avoid), higher carb vegetables (tomatoes, bell peppers) if consumed in very large quantities (still generally low carb for a serving).
