Grilled Burdur shish kebab is a regional Turkish kebab from Burdur, made by shaping seasoned minced lamb around skewers and grilling it over charcoal. Unlike kebabs made from cubes of meat, it has a minced-meat texture and a characteristically simple seasoning.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab is traditionally made with lamb, minced and mixed with salt before it is shaped around the skewers. The lamb’s flavor is meant to stand out, rather than being masked by a heavy spice mixture.
To make Grilled Burdur shish kebab, cooks knead minced lamb with salt, press it around flat skewers, and grill it over hot coals. The mixture is kept simple; breadcrumbs and strong spices are not defining ingredients of the traditional style.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab is generally seasoned simply with salt, while Adana kebab is known for its more pronounced red-pepper heat and seasoning. Both use minced meat shaped on skewers, but their regional styles and flavors are distinct.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab can fall off if the minced lamb is loosely shaped, not kneaded enough, or turned before the first side sets. Keep the mixture cold, press it firmly around a flat skewer, and let it brown before turning.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab comes from Burdur, a province in southwestern Turkey. It is a local kebab style distinguished by minced lamb formed around skewers, rather than by the large pieces of meat used in many other shish kebabs.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab has a savory, smoky lamb flavor, with salt rather than a strong spice blend doing most of the seasoning. It is usually not notably hot; its appeal comes from the grilled meat and its simple preparation.
For Grilled Burdur shish kebab at home, knead salted minced lamb, press it firmly around flat metal skewers, and cook over a thoroughly heated grill. A ridged cast-iron grill pan works too; wait for the meat to set before turning it.
Refrigerate leftover Grilled Burdur shish kebab in a covered container once it has cooled; do not leave it sitting out for hours. Eat it within a few days and reheat it thoroughly before serving.
Grilled Burdur shish kebab provides protein, but lamb also contains fat, so a large serving is not the best choice for every meal. Pairing a moderate portion with vegetables or salad makes for a more balanced plate.

Grilled Burdur shish kebab comes from Burdur in southwestern Turkey. It is typically made by pressing seasoned minced lamb around a skewer and cooking it over charcoal, rather than threading chunks of meat onto one. The result is savoury, smoky meat with a browned exterior and a tender, juicy centre.
In Turkey it is commonly served hot with pide, grilled peppers and tomatoes, or a fresh salad. For English-speaking diners, it works well as a main with flatbread and salad, or alongside rice and grilled vegetables. It is protein-rich and contains no carbohydrates; choose extra salad and go easy on the bread for a lighter plate.
