Lahmahjoon (Armenian-style Pizza)


brown:
1 pkg lean ground turkey (we tried to find ground lamb but our local ethnic butcher was out of it)

chop and add to turkey and cook a bit:
2 small red onions, finely chopped

Add to food processor:
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
To taste: cumin, oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne, tumeric, kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper

add turkey & onions to food processor and process (in batches if necessary) until it is a goopy paste

Spread turkey paste on to:
Flatbread (we bought lavash from the ethnic market but might try thicker round flat bread or Naan from TJ's next time)

Bake in 350+ oven until edges are crisp. Serve with salad on top or on the side.

Salad:

chop in uniform pieces:
green leaf lettuce
tomato
cucumber
fresh mint, basil and parsley

dressing:
1 part lemon juice
2 parts olive oil
smashed garlic clove
salt & pepper
sugar to taste
