Borek is a traditional Turkish savory pastry filled with cheese and spinach but can also be made with minced meat, sausage and vegetables such as zucchini, leeks and tomato sauce. Parsley, which is often featured in Middle Eastern cuisine, is a common herb added to borek.

This Borek is a tasty and filling low-carb lunch or dinner. Savoury minced beef is nestled with rich fillings and tangy feta inside a soft grain-free and gluten-free dough, baked to perfection, and soaked in tasty juices. You could easily make this in advance and pop it in the oven when you are ready to cook it.

Surely by now you all know how much I love anything with spinach and feta in it? Do it. Make one yourself and tell me it is not divine. Enjoy!

How To Make Nut-Free Keto Borek

If you can't eat nuts, you can make the dough nut-free by swapping the almond flour for coconut flour. To do that, simply use about 6 tablespoons (48 g/ 1.7 oz) of coconut flour and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. You can also swap for flax meal and use about 8 tablespoons (57 g/ 2 oz) flax meal and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
