What it is
Skewered, hand-minced lamb and beef (for Urfa Kebab, often only lamb) mixed with red bell peppers, chili flakes, and tail fat, grilled over charcoal. Served with fresh onion salad (sumac, parsley) and grilled tomatoes/peppers. A staple Turkish grilled meat dish.
Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Explicitly ask for no bulgur, rice, or bread. Ensure salad dressing is olive oil, lemon, and sumac only, with no added sugar. Be mindful of portion size for onions and tomatoes.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in tomato paste if used in marinade; restaurant salad dressings often contain sugar; large portions of onions and tomatoes can add up.
