Meat Mixture
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 Bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
Flatbread
- 4 Pita or flatbreads
Harissa Dill Yogurt
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Harissa paste
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with finely chopped onions, garlic, bell pepper, tomato paste, and spices. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the Lahmacun: Preheat your oven to a high temperature. Roll out the pita or flatbreads on a floured surface to make them thin and crispy. Spread a generous layer of the meat mixture over each flatbread, reaching the edges.
- Bake: Place the assembled Lahmacun on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the meat is cooked through.
- Prepare Harissa Dill Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, harissa paste, and fresh dill. Stir until smooth and well blended, adjusting the harissa to your preferred spice level.
- Serve: Once the Turkey Lahmacun is out of the oven, let it cool for a minute. Top with a dollop of Harissa Dill Yogurt and enjoy the delightful flavors!
Notes
- Keep it thin: Rolling the flatbreads thin ensures a crispy texture that holds up under the toppings.
- Do not overcook: Keep an eye on the Lahmacun while baking to prevent drying out or burning.
- Let it rest: Allow the dish to cool slightly before slicing to maintain the toppings.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs and vegetables enhance the overall flavor of the dish significantly.
- Experiment with toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings for extra flavor and texture.
