Farm Kebab - How Many Calories?

Calories in a serving of çiftlik kebabı

Yaka Et Lokantası’s beef-and-vegetable version provides 540 kcal and 30 g protein in a 360 g serving. That is 150 kcal per 100 g. The serving weight includes vegetables and sauce as well as beef.

What goes into the dish?

The reference recipe contains beef cubes, potatoes, aubergine, tomato sauce, green pepper, peas, carrots, sunflower oil and onion. Chicken and lamb versions have different ingredients. A similar name such as orman kebabı is not enough to establish identical nutrition: compare the meat, vegetables, added fat and serving size.

Beef Elbasan tava has a yogurt, flour and egg-yolk topping rather than this vegetable mixture. The two beef dishes need their own portion tables, each weighing the meat together with its accompanying ingredients.

The meat and vegetable guvec example uses green beans, zucchini and olive oil in place of peas and sunflower oil; the two beef dishes need separate portion values.

Smaller servings and side dishes

A 180 g portion of the same dish provides 270 kcal and 15 g protein. At 250 g, the amounts are 375 kcal and 20.83 g protein. Weigh the served mixture rather than recording only the meat and leaving out the vegetables and sauce.

Potatoes and peas are already included. Rice, bread or yogurt served alongside are additions. Recording one plate of kebab does not automatically account for a large rice side. A vegetable meatball dish on the menu also needs its own portion entry.

As a meal example, 180 g kebab with 190 g of the no-added-oil raw artichoke salad provides about 373 kcal and 19.80 g protein. Count any dressing oil added afterwards separately.

The Iskender plate example already includes rice and fries. Accompaniments counted separately here are not necessarily separate in every kebab entry.

Salt and fat in the reference portion

The 360 g serving contains 2.2 g salt, 32 g fat and 11 g saturated fat. Half the serving contains 1.1 g salt. Taste the dish before adding table salt, since the recipe already contributes some. Increasing oil in the sauce changes the calculation differently from adding more vegetables.

Source note: Yaka’s 360 g nutrition table is a restaurant estimate. All values were scaled from that complete portion rather than mixed with its separately rounded 100 g column. Other restaurants and home recipes can differ.
