What is Meat Halaması?

Meat Halaması is a hearty regional Turkish dish that brings meat together with pieces of dough, cooked and served hot. Recipes can vary from one household or locality to another, so the balance of meat and dough—and the way the dish is seasoned—may differ.

The tender meat and soft, filling dough make it a substantial main meal, particularly welcome in colder weather. In Turkey it may be served with pickles or a fresh salad; adding plenty of greens is an easy way to balance the plate. It is protein-rich, with 27.1 g of protein per 100 g, and suits a filling meal. If you prefer a lighter serving, keep the portion of dough modest and pair it with vegetables.
