Döner Etli Soslu ve Yoğurtlu (Ekmeği Olmadan)
Döner Meat with Tomato Sauce and Yogurt (No Pita)
Yes, with a tweak: emphatically request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread/pita). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent slices of döner meat, generously topped with a rich tomato butter sauce and served with a side of strained yogurt. The traditional pita bread, which defines the classic Iskender, is explicitly omitted for this keto adaptation.
Key ingredients
Döner meat (beef/lamb or chicken), tomatoes, butter, yogurt, garlic (optional), olive oil, spices.
How to make it keto
Emphatically request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread/pita). Inquire about sugar content in the tomato sauce; while traditional Turkish sauces are often sugar-free, some restaurants might add it. Request plain strained yogurt.
Watch out for
The tomato sauce can contain sugar. The yogurt adds some carbs. The defining component, pita bread, is a major carb source that must be omitted.
