About Turkish borek
Turkish Börek is a savory pastry celebrated in Turkish cuisine, known for its flaky, layered texture and rich flavor. Traditionally made with thin sheets of dough called yufka, it is typically filled with ingredients like feta cheese, spinach, minced meat, or potatoes, and baked until golden brown. Originating from Ottoman kitchens, Börek has become a versatile dish enjoyed throughout the Middle East, Balkans, and Central Asia. While its high carbohydrate content from the dough and fat from butter or oil make it rich and hearty, additions like spinach or other vegetables can increase fiber and nutrient intake. Pairing cheese-filled Börek with a fresh salad can offer a more balanced meal. Moderation is key, as the pastry can be high in calories and sodium depending on the filling and preparation method. Delicious and satisfying, Börek remains a beloved staple for many households and celebrations.
