Eat before you die! Try out these mouth-watering Turkish Eid dishes

After celebrating Eid al-Ahda, the Muslim holiday of Sacrifice, we’ve tried out Turkish cuisine once more. And once more, we have fallen in love with the luscious flavors.

As we have every year during Eid, we invite you to try out the unique flavors of Turkey’s diverse cities. This year, we are pleased to share two new recipes with you and your family.
