Köfte are savory meatballs made from ground lamb or beef, blended with onions, parsley, spices, and occasionally breadcrumbs or bulgur, then grilled, pan-fried, or oven-baked. Found across Turkey with local twists—like İnegöl Köfte, Tekirdağ Köfte, or Izmir Köfte—they’re commonly served with rice, grilled vegetables, or in a sandwich (ekmek arası). Originating from the Ottoman kitchen and adapted by nearly every Anatolian region, köfte is a go-to meal for both restaurant grills and home cooking.
