chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is heart-healthy, and margarine is often more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Incorporate diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley; remove from heat.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with melted butter.

Layer additional sheets, brushing each with butter, until you have about 4-5 sheets stacked.

Place a portion of the chicken mixture along one edge of the dough.

Roll the dough over the filling to form a log, tucking in the sides as you go.

Place the rolled burek on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with more melted butter and beat an egg for an egg wash.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
