What it is
A beloved Turkish breakfast dish combining savory and spicy cured Turkish garlic sausage (sucuk) pan-fried, often in its own rendered fat, and then topped with sunny-side-up or scrambled eggs. Served without bread for a keto experience.
Key ingredients
Sucuk (Turkish garlic sausage), eggs, butter/olive oil.
How to make it keto
Request no bread (ekmek yok). Ensure the sucuk itself is of good quality and has no added fillers or significant sugars (most authentic sucuk is naturally low-carb).
Watch out for
Sucuk seasoning can sometimes contain trace sugars, but this is generally negligible for authentic varieties. The primary carb risk is the customary serving with abundant bread.
