TURKISH PASTA WITH GROUND BEEF (YOGURTLU KIYMALI MAKARNA) (GLUTE
This is so delicious. With a sauce of garlicky yogurt and cucumber. Traditionally this dish is made with ground lamb but I make it with ground beef. A tweaked version of Recipe #131701. Great meal with a salad on the side masha Allah.
