Turkish cuisine is full of aromas and flavors and is popular in many countries around the world. There is hardly a person in Bulgaria who is surprised by her specialties or has not tried any of them. Due to the intertwined history of the Balkans, many of the Turkish dishes have been part of the Bulgarian table for centuries. Others have never made their way, but certainly not because they do not deserve to be prepared and tried.

Here are some of the characters of Turkish cuisinethat can be found anywhere in Turkey and be tasted with the greatest pleasure:

Our famous meatball actually originates from Turkish cuisine. In more refined culinary language, it can be called a meatball, but we all know that it is a delicious mixture of minced meat, onions, eggs, breadcrumbs and spices, mixed, flattened and grilled on the grill.

Of course, the meatball can be fried and also cooked in the famous recipe Meatballs stew. It is also the star of Constantinople Meatballs, Meatballs in White Sauce and many, many more. Turkish cuisine also boasts a wide range of recipes for vegetarian meatballs.

Lahmajun and pide are a kind of Turkish pizza. Like most Turkish specialties and they make you lick your fingers and keep wanting to eat more and more. And then, of course, to look for a way to delicately change your wardrobe. But when taste is above all else.

Lahmajun and pide are small food wonders placed on dough and baked in the oven. Lahmajun is made mainly with minced meat (and spices) as the main ingredient.

The little dumplings are popular food in Turkey and are known as Turkish ravioli. They are one of the few Turkish specialties that do not come from the Mediterranean region, but have crossed Central Asia, brought by tribes during the Mongol Empire. Turkish ravioli are usually stuffed with meat and served with yogurt and a special tomato sauce. Mantu is a really cult dish in Turkey and you should definitely try it at least once in your life.

Burek

Burek will not surprise us in this list, firstly, because almost every Bulgarian knows it from a child and secondly, because he will certainly agree that he should be at the top of any culinary ranking.

These delicious pieces of pasta, filled with cheese and spinach and sprinkled with fat, are a common breakfast for both Turks and Bulgarians. And the secret of their preparation is passed down from generation to generation in both countries.

The ingredients of the burek may change, but its taste remains unchanged and still tempting.

Shish kebab

Just like the Bulgarians, the Turks like to make their own skewers on their own, on a barbecue. Shish kebab is made mainly from minced meat, seasoned with coriander, cumin, savory, and black pepper. It can be garnished with various vegetables, especially eggplant or grilled peppers.

For the result, most of us can confirm that it is in the category of licking your fingers. If you decide to try it in Turkey, you can choose a restaurant where they will make them on the fire in front of you. So it's much tastier.
