Cheburek[a] (plural: Chebureki) are deep-fried turnovers with a filling of ground or minced meat and onions.[2] A popular street dish, they are made with a single round piece of dough folded over the filling in a crescent shape.[3] They have become widespread in the former Soviet-aligned countries of Eastern Europe in the 20th century.
Chebureki is a national dish of Crimean Tatar cuisine.[1] They are popular as a snack and street food throughout the Caucasus, West Asia, Central Asia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Russia, Eastern Europe,[1][3] as well as in Turkey,[4] Greece and Romania.
