One day, when travel becomes a thing again, I hope to try these savory Turkish snacks first hand. These are made with a shortcut of substituting tortillas for the breading, but pizza dough rolled out thin can also work. It seems the flavors from the meat, spinach and feta cheese mixture is really the star of the dish. The filling can also be made with veggies like, zucchini, mushrooms, or finely chopped potatoes.
Serve hot as a tasty treat for an appetizer, or as a meal with a fresh salad.
