Urfa kebab meat is usually minced lamb mixed with fat, salt and mild red pepper; some versions include beef. It is shaped around wide skewers and cooked over charcoal, though recipes vary between cooks and regions.
Urfa kebab meat is usually mild rather than intensely hot. It is seasoned with pepper, but the amount and type vary, so restaurant versions can differ; ask for a milder preparation if you are sensitive to chilli.
Urfa kebab meat is generally milder, while Adana kebab meat is known for a hotter pepper seasoning. Both are minced-meat kebabs cooked on skewers, and their exact meat blends and spice levels can vary by recipe.
Use a mixture with enough fat, knead it until cohesive, and chill it before shaping. Press the Urfa kebab meat firmly and evenly around a wide, flat skewer, then turn it gently rather than handling it repeatedly.
Season Urfa kebab meat simply, typically with salt and red pepper; some cooks use isot, a Turkish dried pepper. The meat should remain the main flavour, so heavy seasoning is not needed and recipes differ.
Yes, Urfa kebab meat can be cooked under a broiler, in an oven or in a pan. These methods will not give it the same smoky charcoal flavour, but shaping it into small patties makes indoor cooking easier.
Urfa kebab meat is often served with flatbread, grilled tomatoes and peppers, salad and onion with herbs. Yogurt or ayran can also accompany it; add fresh vegetables and bread for a simple home-style meal.
Yes, beef can be used in Urfa kebab meat, and some recipes already combine beef and lamb. A very lean blend may turn out dry or hold together poorly, so include enough fat for a tender kebab.
Refrigerate cooked Urfa kebab meat promptly in a covered container and eat it within a few days. Reheat it until hot throughout; discard it if it was left at room temperature for an extended time.
Yes, freeze uncooked Urfa kebab meat in airtight portions and thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking. Cook thawed minced meat promptly, and avoid refreezing it raw after it has thawed.

Urfa kebab meat is the seasoned lamb-and-beef mixture used for the kebab associated with Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. It is shaped along a wide skewer and charcoal-grilled. Compared with Adana kebab, the Urfa style is generally milder in heat, letting the flavour of the meat come through.
In Turkey it is commonly served with grilled tomatoes and peppers, flatbread, and onion-and-parsley salad; it can also be wrapped as a dürüm. Elsewhere, it works well with warm flatbread or a simple salad. It is a protein-rich, relatively fatty meat dish, with very little carbohydrate: a 100 g portion provides 18.5 g of protein. For a lighter plate, pair it with plenty of salad or grilled vegetables and go easy on bread and rice.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
