Yufka leaves with minced beef and feta filling

Brown the ground meat in a non-stick pan, turning frequently. Remove the thyme leaves from the stems and finely chop them along with the parsley. Crush the garlic. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and chopped herbs to the ground meat. Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle over the ground meat, then mix. Let the ground meat mixture cool. Lightly moisten the yufka leaves and cut into triangles. Place a tablespoon of the ground meat mixture on the wide side of each triangle, fold in the edges, and roll up from the wide side, brushing the edges with water to “stick” them together. Heat olive oil in a pan. Fry the börek rolls, one after the other, on all sides until golden brown. This dish can be easily prepared in advance (e.g., for a party). Prepare the börek rolls as far as they will go and then fry them fresh. Börek also tastes delicious cold (e.g., to take out or for a buffet). We serve it with tzatziki and freshly sliced ​​vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers) or a salad.
