List of Meat Cuts
« on: March 04, 2010, 07:25:14 AM »
This was sent to me by a freind I find it useful



Meat et::.butcher kasap
Ürün means product..ürünler products
So :et ürünleri .. meat products.

Koyun eti is mutton::.kuzu eti is lamb
keçi eti: goat's meat..(usually tough)
Dana eti :is young bullock's meat

if you look in the dictionary dana comes up as veal:but this is not veal from very little calves as we understand it.

Turks rarely eat big pieces of meat.. .. A large piece of meat like a nice big joint of beef is called ‘tranç''..and i havent seen the word in a dictionary..but a good butcher will know what you mean.
Biftek steak
Bonfil in some butchers this covers all good cuts ..sirloin, fillet, tenderloin,
Sigir filetosu :.. sirloin ..
Sagri and but are rump.
Dana kemikli biftek..T bone steak
Kuşbaşi..literally means birds head..the size of the meat pieces.
This along with kiyma is the most used meat:.
kiyma minced meat
you can choose a piece of meat and ask for them to mince it for you
you can have it yagli fatty ..or yagsiz..without fat
you can ask for 250 grams or even less
iki yüz elli gram kiyma verebilir misiniz:?
Say it.Ver-ebeel-eer:
Can you give me 250 grammes of mince.

You can buy mixed meat..typically 80% dana and 20% kuzu in kiyma and kuşbaşi..its cheaper.

Ust kol :shoulder
döş :brisket you can see this in rolls in some shops..and also they will mince this for you.
incik:shank or shin bone ...good if you are into making your own stock.
kuyruk tail
pirzola chops
külbasti :.cutlets for grilling
çig raw chee (hard Ç)
karaciger liver jee er..(soft C)
sakatat is offal or giblets
çig köfte raw meat köfte which is heavily spiced and kneaded for a long time with bulgur:.be careful with this.
Yürek heart
Böbrek kidney
Dil ..tongue
Kokoreç..lambs intestines
işkembe tripe
Koç yumurtasi:guess this one..(hint:koç is ram..yumurta egg)
işkembe çorbasi..a favourite after a late night.
Paça trotter usually sheep..
paça çorbasi another late night hangover favourite
kelle is meat from the head..also a late night/early morning favourite
beyin.. brain
sucuk ..say it sujuck:spicey garlic speciality sausage normally sliced in thin pennies for a breakfast omelette..

kümes hayvanlari is the general name for poultry (kümes means coop or hut)
tavuk is a mature egg producing hen
piliç is a spring chicken or immature cockerel
Hindi turkey.....goose kaz.....duck ördek

gögüs breast
kanat wing
but ..thigh/whole leg

if you want a chicken or bird cut into portions
ask for it :''parça parça''..say it parcha:.in pieces

for some extra interest heres a few of the kebabs you can find around Turkey

beyti kebab..minced beef in a roll like Adana then rolled in thin pide then cut into bite size pieces and topped with yogurt.. delicious.

adana kebab..famous for its heat and spiciness
urfa kebab is like adana without the heat but with extra garlic
it can also be served wrapped in thin bread..but not cut into pieces as Beyti
arap kebab mince cooked with grated tomatoes onions and peppers and hot and spicey and dressed with chopped parsley
tepsi kebab meat that has been pounded together with parsley and spices then pressed into a round tray topped with sliced onions ,toms and peppers and a tomato sauce..its cooked until the sauce is absorbed and eaten with thin bread..
kagit kebab like a thin hamburger..but spicey cooked on greaseproof paper (kagit-card) then wrapped in lovely soft lavaş :thin pide like bread.
testi kebab samll pices of meat cooked in an earthenware container
tandir kebab..large pieces of meat or chicken in a tandir oven.
ali nazik kebab..small pieces of meat served on a bed of creamed aubergine and yogurt
çöp kebab..small bits of meat on wooden skewers.
şiş kebab..you all know this one
sac kebab or kavurma is meat cooked on a griddle..a hot sheet of iron
sac ..saj:not saç satch which means hair
doner kebab meat shaved off a revolving verticle spit and eaten in a dürüm/roll
iskender kebab..doner meat served on diced pide and topped with tomato and yogurt sauce ..Bursa has the best ones.

Domuz and yaban domuz pig and boar
domestic pig is domuz..and wild pig or boar is yaban domuz
yaban meaning wild
there is no separate word:so Turks that tell you they don't know its pig are telling porkies!
