Ishlekli is a traditional dish of Turkmen cuisine. It is a closed pie made from thin dough filled with a mixture of meat and vegetables, often likened to pizza. Ishlekli is usually prepared for honored guests. The filling most commonly uses lamb. Traditionally, it was baked in a hearth, buried in hot sand. Nowadays, it is prepared in a tandoor, placing the pie between two pans and burying it in ashes.
