How to make it keto
Order as a 'platter' or 'portion' (porsiyon) and clearly state 'ekmeksiz' (without bread) and 'pilavsız' (without rice). Confirm the tomato sauce has no added sugar or flour/starch thickeners.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the tomato sauce is common. Small amounts of flour or starch might be used as a thickener in the sauce. Some restaurants might include potato as a binder in the döner meat itself.
