Grilled Turkish Turkey Flatbread is fast, delish and nutrish with a spicy kick!

We wrap. We roll. We dip.

If bread is the staff of life, variety is what keeps it interesting. The world has flattened so that we scoop curries and hummus with naan, fold pita around gyros and souvlaki, stuff arepas with beans and cheese, fill buns with sliders, and wrap tortillas with nearly everything.

If you prefer not to make dough, you can heat and eat because many of these breads are available in your grocery store. Check the bread aisle, deli, and frozen foods sections.

  1. Spiced ground turkey with chopped vegetables and herbs
  2. Thinly spread that on the flatbread and grilled it.
