🇹🇷Turkish food
Turkish cuisine combines grilled meats such as kebabs, vegetables cooked in olive oil, yoghurt, bulgur, pulses and bread, with many regional specialities. Meals often start with meze — small cold and hot dishes shared at the table.

💡Tip
Meze and bread add up quickly, and vegetables cooked in olive oil (zeytinyağlı) still carry plenty of oil — grilled kebab with salad is a filling, protein-rich choice.
