Cheese and minced meat lahmacun is a Turkish-style thin flatbread topped with seasoned minced meat and cheese, usually kaşar. The cheese-topped version is a variation rather than the usual traditional lahmacun, which is typically baked with meat topping and no cheese.
No, cheese and minced meat lahmacun is not quite the same as pizza. Its dough is usually rolled much thinner, and the minced-meat topping is spread across the surface; adding cheese is a variation, not the defining feature of traditional lahmacun.
To make cheese and minced meat lahmacun, spread a thin layer of seasoned minced meat, onion, tomato and pepper over very thin dough. Bake in a thoroughly preheated oven, then add grated kaşar near the end so it melts without scorching.
Kaşar is the common choice for cheese and minced meat lahmacun because it melts smoothly over the meat topping. Use it grated and spread it evenly; a strong, wet cheese can overwhelm the seasoning or make the flatbread soggy.
Keep cheese and minced meat lahmacun crisp by using a very hot oven, thin dough and a modest amount of topping. Drain or cook off excess liquid from the meat mixture, and avoid adding too much cheese, which can release moisture as it melts.
Cheese and minced meat lahmacun is often served with lemon, parsley and sumac-seasoned onion; ayran is a classic drink alongside it. A fresh salad also works well, especially because the cheese version is richer than a plain meat-topped lahmacun.
Reheat cheese and minced meat lahmacun in a dry, preheated skillet over low to medium heat until the base crisps and the topping is hot. Covering the pan briefly helps warm the center; a microwave tends to soften the thin crust.
Cheese and minced meat lahmacun can generally be kept in the refrigerator for 3–4 days if it is chilled promptly and stored covered. Reheat it until hot throughout, and do not leave cooked meat and cheese toppings at room temperature for extended periods.
Yes, cheese and minced meat lahmacun can be frozen once completely cooled. Separate pieces so they do not stick together, then seal them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for a crisper base.
Cheese and minced meat lahmacun provides protein and calcium, but the meat, cheese and dough make it a substantial meal. Pairing it with salad or vegetables can make the meal more balanced; how often it fits depends on your usual portions and food choices.

Lahmacun is a thin, oven-baked flatbread topped with a savoury mixture of minced meat, tomato, pepper and herbs. Cheese and minced meat lahmacun adds kaşar, a mild Turkish cheese, to the topping. The dish is closely associated with southeastern Turkey and is now served in bakeries and restaurants across the country.
It is best eaten hot, with a crisp edge and a soft, juicy centre. In Turkey, it is often rolled or folded around parsley, lemon and onion, and served with ayran; a fresh salad makes a good accompaniment elsewhere too. The meat and cheese provide protein, while the cheese also contributes calcium. For a lighter meal, pair a piece with plenty of salad rather than adding extra cheese.
