What is Kagit Kebab?
Kagit Kebab is a Turkish oven-baked kebab cooked in parchment, with seasoned minced meat and vegetables such as tomato, pepper and onion. Recipes vary by region and household, and the meat may be beef or lamb. The paper holds in the juices as the ingredients cook together, while the edges can brown.
The result is savoury and warmly spiced, tender in the middle with a little sweetness from the vegetables. In Turkey it is often served as a main course with rice, bread or pide, plus salad or yoghurt; Turkish restaurants abroad may serve it similarly. It is protein-rich, with relatively few carbohydrates. For a lighter version, choose lean mince and add more vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kagit Kebab
What is Kagit Kebab?
Kagit Kebab is a Turkish oven-baked dish of seasoned minced meat spread on baking paper, often with vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes and onions. The thin meat mixture cooks on the paper and is commonly served with it.
Where does Kagit Kebab come from?
Kagit Kebab is especially associated with Hatay and Antakya in southern Turkey. Recipes vary across the country, so the choice of meat, vegetables and seasoning can differ from one version to another.
What does the name Kagit Kebab mean?
Kagit Kebab means “paper kebab” in Turkish. The name refers to the baking paper used to cook and serve the seasoned meat, rather than to a special cut of meat.
Is Kagit Kebab the same as lahmacun?
No, Kagit Kebab is not the same as lahmacun. Both can include minced meat and vegetables, but lahmacun is spread over a thin dough base, while Kagit Kebab is cooked on baking paper without that bread base.
What vegetables go into Kagit Kebab?
Tomatoes, peppers and onions are common in Kagit Kebab. Parsley, garlic or other vegetables may also appear in regional recipes; chopping them finely helps them mix evenly with the meat.
Can you make Kagit Kebab in an air fryer?
Yes, you can cook Kagit Kebab in an air fryer if the baking paper is secured beneath the meat and cannot lift into the heating element. Use a small portion that fits flat, and check that the meat cooks through.
How do you keep Kagit Kebab from drying out?
To keep Kagit Kebab moist, use meat that is not extremely lean and spread the mixture in an even layer. Avoid overcooking it; the vegetables also release moisture as the kebab bakes.
How should you reheat Kagit Kebab?
Reheat Kagit Kebab in the oven, covered loosely with foil, until hot throughout. This helps prevent the thin meat layer from drying out; a covered pan over low heat also works for a small portion.
Can you freeze Kagit Kebab?
Yes, cooked Kagit Kebab can be frozen in an airtight container once it has cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it until hot throughout; the vegetables may be softer after freezing.
What should you serve with Kagit Kebab?
Serve Kagit Kebab with flatbread, rice or bulgur and a fresh salad. A yogurt-based side or grilled vegetables also works well, balancing the savory minced meat without competing with its seasoning.
