This question reminds me about my best moment with my friends in Turkey three months ago. We are enjoying the most popular testy dish of turkey named "Kebaps". Yes the popular food of turkey is Kebaps. And I suggest if you want to go to Turkey you should test this recipe, it's really so tasty.

Probably the most common food in Turkey is dönner kebap, but that is because it is an easy street-food to prepare. Most of Turkey's better dishes are more expensive and require a proper kitchen.
