Yogurt spinach minced meat stew is a Turkish home-style dish made by cooking spinach with minced meat and bringing it together with yogurt. Depending on the household, the yogurt may be stirred through or spooned over the dish when serving.
It pairs the savoury richness of the meat with tender greens and cool, tangy yogurt. In Turkey, it is commonly served as a main meal with rice or bread; elsewhere, those sides work just as well. The spinach contributes fibre, while the dish provides protein and iron; it has 6.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, choose lean minced meat and use less cooking oil.
