Turkish lamb recipes

Lamb is the cornerstone of Turkish cuisine, being used for kebabs, stews and bakes since time immemorial. Here are a few of my favourite Turkish lamb recipes.

Two Adana kebabs, two pieces of grilled tomato and two grilled long green peppers on a lavash bread. There's also onion salad and parsley on the oval plate set on a light stone background. Seen from eye level
