Döner Kebap
Shredded Meat Kebab (Served without Bread or Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: order 'Döner porsiyon' (plate portion) and explicitly ask 'ekmeksiz, pilavsız' (without bread, without rice). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Thinly sliced, marinated meat (typically lamb, beef, or chicken, or a mix) cooked on a vertical rotisserie. This flavorful, savory meat is naturally keto, but is conventionally served in a wrap, bread, or over rice. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a simple side salad for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
Lamb, Beef, or Chicken (marinated with yogurt, olive oil, onion, garlic, spices like paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper). Typically served with a side of fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and a lemon wedge.
How to make it keto
Order 'Döner porsiyon' (plate portion) and explicitly ask 'ekmeksiz, pilavsız' (without bread, without rice). Be cautious with any accompanying sauces, opting for olive oil and lemon dressing if available, or plain yogurt.
Watch out for
Marinade might contain small amounts of sugar or starch (less common for traditional döner). Some sauces (e.g., specific tomato-based or white garlic sauces) could contain hidden sugar or thickeners. Ensure only the meat and basic salad vegetables are consumed.
