Cheburek[a] (plural: Chebureki) are deep-fried turnovers with a filling of ground or minced meat and onions.

[2] A popular street dish, they are made with a single round piece of dough folded over the filling in a crescent shape.

The dough is made of flour, water (usually of a baker percentage of ~50%), salt, and oil.

[5][6] The meat fill is layered thinly enough that it will cook fully in the sealed half-moon pocket.

Cheburek is called Çibörek ("börek" means pastry in Turkish language).
