How to make it keto
Request no bread (ekmek) on the side. Confirm sucuk does not contain high-carb fillers (generally it doesn't, but worth asking).
Watch out for
Sucuk can sometimes contain minimal dextrose/sugar for fermentation, but usually very low carb. The main risk is always the accompanying bread.
