Döner Dürüm Tavuk
The chicken dürüm: lean thigh döner shaved off the cone into griddle-pressed lavaş, lifted by garlic sauce and sumac onion. The cheap everyday wrap that punishes a hasty knife.
Turkey
Döner Dürüm Et
The red-meat wrap: et döner, beef or lamb built with kuyruk tail fat, shaved off the cone and rolled in lavaş. The whole craft is rationing the fat the meat sheds.
Dil Ekmek
Tongue in bread; boiled or fried lamb/beef tongue.
Çupra Ekmek

Çöp şiş ekmek pushes thin wooden skewers of charcoal-grilled lamb off the stick and into a split somun loaf: an Aegean thrift grill from Selçuk and Germencik, seasoned at the last second.

Cağ Kebabı Dürüm
Erzurum cooks the spit on its side. Cağ kebabı turns the lamb cone horizontally so the fat circulates back into the meat, then re-skewers the cooked edge and grills it again before the lavaş dürüm.

Bread with cacık (yogurt-cucumber-garlic dip); simple, refreshing.
