Turkish cuisine sits at the crossroads of Mediterranean, Central Asian, and Middle Eastern traditions. Shaped by the Ottoman Empire's vast reach, it's a cuisine of incredible diversity — from the olive oil dishes of the Aegean coast to the fiery kebabs of southeastern Anatolia. Turkish breakfast (kahvaltı) is legendary, and the tradition of meze dining is an art of communal eating.
