Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt, making a well in the center. Gradually mix in Greek yogurt and lukewarm water until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for about 3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook the Filling: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes. Add ground lamb, cooking until browned (5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.
- Season the Meat: Stir in tomato paste, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well, adding fresh spinach to wilt down for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Roll the Dough: Divide dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin rectangle (1/8 inch thick, about 10 inches long). Keep the dough lightly floured.
- Fill the Gozleme: Place the cooled lamb filling down the center. Sprinkle with mint, parsley, feta, and diced tomatoes. Fold and seal the edges tightly.
- Cook the Gozleme: Heat a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook each gozleme for 3-4 minutes until golden, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once crispy, cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve with lemon wedges and olives.

Notes
Serve your Turkish Gozleme with lamb immediately for the best taste. Pairing with yogurt dip or side salads enhances the meal experience.
