Beef, Spinach and Feta Gozleme
Gozleme is a Turkish stuffed flatbread. Made the traditional way, large, thin sheets of unbaked dough are filled then cooked on a griddle-like pan. For ease, we use flour tortillas, fill them with a simple mixture of beef, spinach and feta, then toast them in the same skillet used to make the filling. To make this into a meal, serve a simple salad alongside.

GET DIGITAL & PRINTThis was outstanding. Although the list of ingredients was short, the flavors combined together for a complex bite. We used ground turkey (NOT BREAST MEAT). To ensure that the tortillas didn't open in the frying pan, we secured each packets with a toothpick until ready to cook, removed the tooth pick, and put the packets in the frying pan fold side down first. This is a keeper!
This was a bit lackluster for us. It wasn’t bad, by any means but the flavor was quite diluted. I used more ground beef but increased all the seasoning to compensate and my cumin was a brand new container so I don’t think that was the culprit. I ended up adding some Aleppo pepper to help boost the flavor. The method was easy enough for cooking and preparing, and it’s got potential but needs more than what is written for me.
I liked this dish and it uses just the one pan so it's not a lot of clean-up. I didn't have the large tortillas so I used twice as many 8" ones. I didn't have feta so I used cotija. I didn't have a non-stick pan so I used more oil. All these substitutions worked fine and it wasn't a hard dish to make. The only warning is that cooking this until it's dry is what takes so long, so it does require a bit of patience.
