Kuzu/Tavuk Şiş Kebap (Pirinçsiz, Ekmeksiz)
Lamb or Chicken Shish Kebab (No Rice, No Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, no bread, and no bulgur. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Succulent cubes of marinated lamb or chicken, skewered with bell peppers and onions, then grilled to perfection. Served traditionally with rice and bread, but easily made keto by omitting these sides and focusing on the grilled meat and vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb or chicken cubes, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, spices (oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no bread, and no bulgur. Opt for extra green salad or grilled vegetables if available.
Watch out for
Standard accompaniments (rice, flatbread). Marinades may contain small amounts of sugar (though less common in traditional Turkish kebabs). Large quantities of bell peppers/onions can increase carb count.
