Manti, often referred to as Turkish dumplings, is a beloved dish that has been passed down through generations. These little pockets of joy, filled with seasoned meat and wrapped in delicate dough, are the epitome of comfort food in Turkish cuisine. Whether served with yogurt and garlic sauce or topped with melted butter and spices, Turkish Manti is a dish that warms both the body and the soul.

What Makes Turkish Manti Special?
Turkish Manti stands out from other dumplings due to its rich, flavorful filling and unique method of preparation. Unlike Chinese dumplings or Italian ravioli, Manti is typically smaller in size, often bite-sized, and filled with a mixture of ground meat, usually beef or lamb, combined with aromatic spices. What truly elevates this dish is the combination of tangy yogurt and fragrant garlic sauce that is often served alongside, balancing the richness of the dumplings.
Manti is a dish that brings people together. It’s often made in large batches, perfect for sharing during family gatherings, celebrations, or festive occasions. Its preparation can be a fun, communal activity where family members come together to form each dumpling by hand.
