Tuzlu Yoğurt
Thick Salted Yogurt Dip (No Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially confirm that it is plain, unsweetened yogurt with no added sugars or starches. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A unique, rich, and tangy salted yogurt, often from specific regions like Hatay, with a consistency thicker than regular yogurt. Served as a creamy, savory dip or side dish, perfect for complementing grilled meats or as a standalone snack.
Key ingredients
Thick strained yogurt (similar to labneh), salt. Optionally, a drizzle of olive oil, dried mint, or red pepper flakes for garnish.
How to make it keto
Crucially confirm that it is plain, unsweetened yogurt with no added sugars or starches. Request no bread or any other carb accompaniment.
Watch out for
Lactose (natural sugar) in yogurt contributes to total carbs; however, strained and fermented yogurts generally have lower net carbs. Ensure no sugar is added commercially. The main carb risk is the typical serving with bread.
