Meatballs (kfte), a classic Turkish delicacy

Technically kftes are, however, Turkish meatballs are not made entirely of red and white meat; in fact, in Ottoman times, it was the classical gourd-crumbled fried rice cakes, mcverquot; that were laid out in a notebook in the Topkapı palace kitchen along with lamb cakes, and that one mainly documented, not how the ingredients themselves, but how to set about preparing them.

In addition to that little culinary history lesson, focusing on the different flavors of meatballs that are likely to be found in Turkish markets and konya restaurant restaurants in Turkey, this is not a complete list, as there are dozens of meatball types in Turkey in total, so only the following popular types are listed.
