Tatar böreği (Tatar börek) is a Turkish food consisting of dough parcels usually cut in the form of a triangle. It is a common food in many inner regions of Turkey in cities like Eskişehir and Gaziantep.
The dumplings are usually covered in yogurt and filled with ground beef, garlic and parsley.[1] In North Cyprus they are traditionally served with grated halloumi cheese and mint.[2]
In June 2018, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that he would like to serve the dish in a series of cafes that he plans to create across Turkey, should he retain the Presidency following the June 2018 Presidential election.[3][4]
