Izgara Köfte (Beyti Tarzı, Lavaşsız)
Grilled Ground Meat Kebab (Beyti Style, No Lavash)
Yes, with a tweak: request the köfte be served 'lavaşsız' (without lavash bread). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Seasoned ground lamb or beef, typically grilled on skewers, served with a flavorful tomato sauce and a dollop of creamy strained yogurt. This modified version omits the traditional lavash bread wrap that is central to Beyti Kebab.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, onions, garlic, spices (paprika, cumin, mint), tomato paste, butter, yogurt, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Request the köfte be served 'lavaşsız' (without lavash bread). Ask for the tomato sauce to be sugar-free and for plain strained yogurt. Can ask for extra grilled vegetables.
Watch out for
The lavash bread is a primary carb source that must be removed. Tomato sauce might contain sugar. Yogurt contains natural carbs.
