An irresistible Turkish twist: Ruokaboksi’s mince pizzas. Ruokaboksi’s Turkish mince pizzas & yoghurt sauce bring the spirit of lahmacun to everyday meals in a fun and easy way: the tortilla base bakes quickly in the oven until crisp, and the spicy mince layer on top makes every bite satisfyingly rich. The dish is finished with a garlicky yoghurt sauce and fresh vegetables – cucumber, tomato, shallot and flat-leaf parsley.

This recipe is an excellent choice for busy weeknights, but works just as well for relaxed weekend treats or when you want to serve something a little different. What makes these Ruokaboksi Turkish mince pizzas special? The flavour is built around paprika, ground cumin and tomato purée – the result is warming, nicely spiced and pleasantly juicy. The garlic yoghurt balances the heat and adds a creamy freshness. The mince provides plenty of protein, while the fresh vegetables bring lightness and a good feel to the meal without compromising on flavour.

Handy tips and easy variations for success: Spread the mince mixture as thinly as possible on the tortilla – this helps it cook evenly and keeps the base crisp. Chop the vegetables while the pizzas bake, and you’ll have the whole meal on the table in about 25 minutes. Want more kick? Leave the chilli seeds in or add a more generous squeeze of lime juice. If you like, swap the yoghurt for lactose-free yoghurt or use a thick Greek-style yoghurt for an extra rich sauce.

Best ways to serve: yoghurt sauce, sides and a fresh spread. Serve the pizzas straight from the oven so the tortilla stays crisp. Put all the toppings on the table separately and let everyone build their own – especially handy for families and guests. A green salad or a light cabbage-and-cucumber salad works well on the side, and a refreshing sparkling water with lemon or mint makes a great drink.

Ruokaboksi’s Turkish mince pizzas – an easy favourite for weekdays and weekends. This recipe combines quick oven baking, a spicy mince topping, fresh vegetables and delicious garlic yoghurt. The result is versatile, easy to adapt and guaranteed to be moreish – exactly the kind of meal you’ll want to make again. Try it today and fall in love with a lahmacun-inspired pizza night!
