TURKISH GOZLEME WITH MINCED LAMB

These Turkish Gozleme with Lamb are savoury homemade flatbreads made completely from scratch filled with ground lamb, spices, herbs and feta cheese. You won't be able to eat just one! They're incredibly delicious and full of great flavors!

I actually enjoy making my own dough and as I said it’s really easy to make, and you don’t need to let this dough rise or anything. I kneaded this by hand, but feel free to use your mixer and it’s going to be a lot easier. This dough will be enough to make 4 gozleme, but each one is quite big, and it makes for a very hearty lunch. If you wanted to make more, you could easily just double the recipe.

INGREDIENTS
For Dough

• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain
• 1/2 cup water

For Filling

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 lb ground lamb
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp coriander ground
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp cumin ground
• 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
• 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
• 6 oz spinach frozen, thawed and chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh mint chopped
• 2 green onions chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
• 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
• 1 medium tomato chopped
• lemon wedges and olives to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and stir in the yogurt and water. Continue mixing with a spoon until everything is well combined. If the dough is too dry adjust by adding a bit more water, start with a tablespoon at a time.
2. Flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 3 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and set aside.
3. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat then add the chopped onion and garlic. Saute onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.
4. Add the ground lamb to the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. Stir in the tomato paste, coriander, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the spinach, stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Let the meat mixture cool slightly.
5. In the meantime divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a rectangle that’s about 12×10 inches.
6. Spoon about 3 tbsp of the lamb mixture in the middle of the rectangle and spread it out a bit. Add some fresh mint, green onions, fresh parsley, 1/4 of the crumbled feta, and some chopped tomato. Fold over the edges of the dough to seal. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
7. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, add 1 or 2 of the gozleme and cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Spray more cooking spray as needed.
8. Cut each gozleme in half diagonally and serve with lemon wedges and olives.
