Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
