Makes 6 servings
1/2 kg ground veal or beef * 1 egg * 2-3 slices old bread * 1 onion * salt * black pepper * cumin * dry mint * oil to fry
Mince the onion very finely. In a bowl, mix the ground meat with the bread (in small pieces), the egg, the onion, the spices and the salt. Give shape to the köfte (hamburger shape) and fry them in a small amount of hot oil. Serve hot.
This is a typical köfte from the Turkish city of Tekirdağ, although it is consumed throughout Turkey. Tekirdağ is located in the northwest of Turkey, near the Greek boarder.

Hi Lidia,
In the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at Shannon@foodbuzz.com.
I love the Turkish burger recipe. Are burgers as popular in Turkey as they are in the U.S.?
Cheers!
