No, Çiğ köfte with einkorn is generally made without meat; “çiğ” in the name does not mean this version contains raw meat. It is a grain-based, vegan-style take on Turkish çiğ köfte, unlike some older meat-based preparations.
How is Çiğ köfte with einkorn different from regular çiğ köfte?

What is Çiğ köfte with einkorn?
Çiğ köfte with einkorn is a grain-based, meat-free take on çiğ köfte, associated with southeastern Turkey. It is made by kneading einkorn—often in a cracked-grain form—with pepper and tomato paste, onion and spices, then shaping the mixture into small portions. The result is boldly seasoned, usually chilli-hot, with a dense, pleasantly chewy texture.
In Turkey it is commonly wrapped in lettuce and served with lemon, sometimes alongside lavash; it also works as part of a mezze spread. This is a grain-forward choice with a notable amount of fibre: 100 g provides 6.1 g. For a lighter serving, add plenty of lettuce and lemon and keep the lavash on the side.
