Tuzda Kuzu (Bütün, Keto Sebzeli)
Salt-Baked Whole Lamb with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: specify no potatoes, no rice, no bulgur. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole lamb (or a large cut like leg or shoulder) slow-baked in a salt crust, which seals in the juices and creates incredibly tender, flavorful meat. Served with a selection of roasted keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole lamb cut, coarse sea salt, herbs (rosemary, thyme), garlic, olive oil, selection of keto vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms).
How to make it keto
Specify no potatoes, no rice, no bulgur. Request keto vegetables only (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant) instead of traditional high-carb root vegetables. Confirm no flour or sugar in any seasoning or glaze.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades for vegetables, restaurant use of higher carb vegetables (carrots, potatoes), cross-contamination with carb sides, potential for a non-keto glaze.
