Notes

  • Protein: I use ground chicken in this recipe to keep things light, however you can use any ground meat such as turkey, lamb, or beef.
  • Herbs: Parsley and oregano shine bright in this recipe, but you can use any herbs you like. Fresh basil and mint are great additions.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve in a wrap like pita or lavash with tzatziki, tomatoes, and onions, or in a bowl with rice or roasted potatoes, chickpeas, and veggies.
  • Spices: For extra flavor, add in spices like sumac, fennel, or cumin.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to swap shallots with onions, and use any variety of bell pepper to make this recipe your own.
