Cheap and available on any street corner, it’s the perfect light lunch or snack while touring.
6. Börek
Turkish savoury pastry comes in many varieties, most popularly filled with minced meat or spinach and cheese. Börek can be rolled, served as puffs, or layered like lasagna, and served for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Anyway you have it, börek is always flaky and delicious.

11. Dolma
Dolma is often used to refer to stuffed vine leaves, but encompasses any stuffed vegetable. Vine leaves are popular in Turkey, but so are stuffed peppers, courgettes, and aubergine.
12. Lokum
Lokum, or Turkish Delight, is a nougaty dessert served with a variety of flavours and fillings and often topped with powdered sugar. It’s always best fresh, as pre-packaged versions tend to go too light on the fillings and too heavy on the sugar, drying it out.
13. Şiş Kebap
Meat on a stick originated in Turkey, wouldn’t you know? Sis Kebab is typically lamb, chicken or fish served on a wooden or metal rod, often with bread. Dip it in yogurt or eat it on its own; it’s always tender, savoury, and delicious.

These vegetarian meat balls made from lentils, bulgur, and chopped vegetables are a common Turkish appetiser.
20. Döner
Döner is a typical slow cooked meat sandwich, made with chicken, lamb, or beef and served with vegetables, spices, and garlic yogurt. Döner is usually available from takeaways, but don’t be fooled, it’s exponentially tastier than McDonalds.

22. İskender Kebab

As you know I shared 25 Turkish delicious foods must everyone must try and I mentioned that I will share their recipes one by one Here is the fist one Menemen
How to Make Menemen

Menemen is a dish of eggs scrambled just until barely set, mixed with tomatoes, chilies, and tons of olive oil. I love to eat it with a side of salty cheese, olives, and some good crusty bread.
Why this recipes works:
- We don't do much to improve on this classic—the key is to cook the eggs very gently, removing them from the heat well before they finish cooking so they can continue to cook on the way to the table.
- The proper Turkish peppers are difficult to find, but either shishito, padrón, or Chinese long green peppers work nicely.
Note: If you have access to Aleppo or Urfa chilies, you can use them in place of the paprika for a more authentic flavor. Chives are not traditional to the dish, but I often like to add them because eggs and chives were made for each other; you can opt to include or omit them.
