Mutton would be the meat of choice in turkey anyway so make it all the more genuine. One last tip is cover it in Paprika before sealing your parcel, this will give it a far more pleasing final colour and will be more authentic, Another idea would be to replace Zucchini (i've never seen one in turkey) with Aubergine. But most of all enjoy.

Kleftiko is a greek word derived from the word kleftis meaning thief - it is the symbol of slow cooking a thief into a tasty dish i.e. traditionally cooking old mutton into a tasty dish. Bay leaves are an essential ingredient. Lucky im around to correct mistakes eh!
