Turkey is known for its savory savory breakfasts.

But what about when you add the sweet side?

These Turkish breakfast recipes are full of savory treats that will wake you up and fill your belly with good food.

They’re quick, easy, and packed with bold flavors.

So, get ready to start your day off right!

1. Gozleme Recipe (Turkish Stuffed Flatbread)

I’ve tried many stuffed flatbreads, and I can tell you this one is my absolute favorite.

This Turkish delight is the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and savory flavors.

Plus, it looks so pretty with its bright red color!

If you love food as much as I do, then you’ll definitely enjoy this gozleme recipe.

It’s a great appetizer to serve any time of year.

The flatbread itself is tasty enough on its own, but the toppings are what make it the ultimate treat.

2. Turkish Borek With Spinach And Feta Cheese

As mentioned, a lot of the Turkish recipes call for feta or Greek yogurt.

This is one of those dishes that’s so easy to make and comes together in just 20 minutes.

You can serve this as a side dish or add it on top of some rice and beans for an Asian-inspired meal.

3. Turkish Melted Cheese and Cornmeal (M?hlama)

If you’ve never tried melted cheese, then I definitely recommend giving it a shot.

It’s such a different experience than any other dairy product you’ve had.

This cheese is made by blending the cheddar and cream cheese together.

Then, it gets mixed with cornmeal until it turns into a gooey, nutty mess.

You can serve it as part of a lemony dip or as an appetizer on its own.

Either way, it’s quite addictive!

4. Turkish Boyoz

Boyoz may be the name for this traditional Turkish dessert, but it’s not a sweet, fluffy pie.

Instead, according to legend, it’s a fruit tart with a meringue topping.

The term “boyoz” simply means “pie” in Turkish.

However, Boyoz is also commonly used as an adjective that describes any kind of meal or food.

But even if you don’t think you like pie – and boyoz is not at all synonymous with sweet – try this one! It has similar flavors and textures but is made with less sugar than other desserts.

So if you want something light and refreshing without sacrificing flavor, try Boyoz.

And if you do like it sweet, go ahead and add extra sugar to the filling.

5. Pide (Turkish Flatbread Pizza)

Pide is like a Turkish pizza but with flatbread instead of pizza dough.

It’s topped with meat, vegetables, and spices for a hearty meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

And because it’s so easy to make, you can serve it at any time!

If you want a quick and easy pide recipe, try out this recipe.

It’s the quickest way to get your hands on pide!

6. Perfect Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes)

This Turkish dish is a complete breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

It’s just too good to resist!

It features perfectly scrambled eggs with tomatoes and onions.

A bit of cumin and paprika add a touch of spice.

You can serve it as an entree or side dish in your Turkish kitchen.

But I like to make this one for brunch when the mood strikes.

7. Turkish Eggs (Cilbir)

Turkish eggs are a classic breakfast, but they’re so easy to make at home that you can enjoy them any time of the day.

Just cook the eggs, add in some spices and tomatoes, and serve with bread or toast.

Delish!

These eggs are full of flavor thanks to a generous helping of herbs and spices.

They go well with almost any protein, including chicken or fish.

You can even add chili pepper flakes if you like your eggs spicy.

They’re great for brunch and would be amazing for an over-easy egg sandwich too.

8. Menemen (Turkish Egg Scramble)

Menemen is a breakfast staple in Turkey, and it’s so good you’ll want to eat it every day.

It calls for eggs, bacon, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and salt.

All of this comes together in one bowl for a super satisfying meal.

Don’t forget the parmesan cheese!

9. Homemade Turkish Simit

This Turkish pastry is made with a thick and fluffy dough, fresh herbs, and delicious cream cheese filling.

It’s soft, buttery, and full of flavors.

To make this recipe extra special, you can add some dried fruits or nuts to the filling for added crunch.

10. Patetes Gözleme (Turkish Flat Bread Filled With Potato)

Patetes gözleme is a Turkish flatbread that can be made with any kind of potatoes, sweet or bitter.

It’s very simple but bursting with flavor.

The potato adds a natural sweetness to the bread, which is served warm and spread with butter.

I love this as an appetizer when I have guests over.

It’s easy to make and tastes even better than it looks!

11. Turkish Pide Bread Recipe (No-Knead)

If you’ve never had pide, then you’re in for a treat.

It’s the perfect bread to have with your favorite stew or rice.

The dough itself is super easy to make and comes together quickly!

This recipe calls for a simple mixture of flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, and eggs.

That means that you only need four ingredients if you want to whip up this tasty bread.

You can also add more toppings to fatten up this bread when it gets everywhere on your plate!

12. Çilbir –Turkish Eggs In Spiced Yoghurt

The Turkish version of the frittata presents a yolk-based pan with a nutty, eggy flavor.

It’s filled with spinach and feta cheese, then baked to perfection.

But you can use whatever veggies you have on hand.

I love this simple combination because it’s very filling!

Top it off with some pomegranate seeds and grated cheese if you want to add more crunch.

13. Turkish Pogaca

This dish is a fried bread-like cross between a cake and a pizza.

It’s crispy, crumbly, and sweet with a tangy yogurt filling.

It’s similar to Greek spinach pie, but it has more veggies in the mix.

In this recipe, you can also add some cheese.

It’s warm, slightly spicy, and so much better than plain old spinach.

14. Acma Pastry

This is another pastry you’ll need to try, and I promise it’s worth the effort.

These are buttery, flaky pastries straight from the oven.

They’re so good, you really can’t even tell they were baked.

I love that these recipes show you exactly what ingredients go into them, making them easier to follow for beginners like me.

Whether you end up making a batch of these or not, there’s no way you won’t be hooked!

15. Turkish Flat Bread Bazlama

This flat bread is like a pocket sandwich, but it’s made with sourdough instead.

It has all the same great flavors as regular flat bread.

The only thing that makes this recipe different is that it’s fresh and homemade! You can eat this with anything – chicken, meat, fish, or turkey.

16. Greek Yogurt Turkish Flatbread (Bazlama)

If you’re in the mood for a hearty, filling lunch that’s low in calories but high in flavor, this Turkish flatbread is your snack of choice.

It’s also completely gluten-free.

The combination of cracked wheat and veggies (cauliflower and cherry tomatoes) is just mind-blowing.

But it wouldn’t be complete without the Mediterranean dressing – Greek yogurt and lemon juice.

17. Mini Turkish Pide Pizza

This Turkish minipizza is everything you love about a pizza and more.

It has layers of dough, cheese, veggies, and more.

In fact, this mini-pizza is probably one of the best pides around.

The flavor combinations are mind-blowing because they’re not just amazing in their own right but also make an excellent base for other toppings.

Boneless feta cheese is my favorite part of this recipe.

You won’t believe how gooey and delicious it is!

18. Turkish Borek Recipe (Vegan Spinach Rolls)

Borek is a popular spinach roll that’s typically served at Ramadan.

They’re easy to make, and they taste amazing.

This recipe uses vegan butter and egg replacer, but you can use regular butter if you prefer.

You also need to roll the rolls in flour before baking them.

It helps provide a crisp crust that pairs perfectly with the soft filling.

Serve these rolls with any of your favorite fillings, or enjoy them by themselves.

Did you know that Turkish tea is very different from the English and Spanish teas?

Unlike other teas, Turkish tea is more of a blend of black and green leaves.

It also includes lemon juice.

To prepare Turkish tea, you’ll need to steep the ingredients in water for about 15 minutes.

And while it may not be the healthiest option, you can enjoy it guilt-free.

Simply blend pomegranate juice with a little water, honey, lemon juice, ginger ale, and stevia powder.

You’ll have an icy drink that tastes great on ice or in a chilled glass of water.
