What it is
A modified version of the popular Beyti Kebab.

Accompanied by grilled peppers and tomatoes, omitting the traditional rice or bread.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, garlic, spices (paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes), tomato paste, butter, olive oil, plain strained yogurt, grilled peppers, grilled tomatoes.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no lavash bread (lavash yok) or any bread/pita. Ask for grilled low-carb vegetables (ızgara sebze) such as peppers, tomatoes, or eggplant instead of rice. Confirm no sugar in the tomato sauce.
Watch out for
Lavash bread (must be omitted), hidden sugars in tomato sauce, starchy side dishes (rice/fries), large amounts of tomato/onion in the sauce or side vegetables.
