Fry the minced meat in a little oil until crumbly. Add the thyme and tomato paste and season with salt. Let cool slightly. Place the yufka leaf wide side down and arrange about 2 heaped tablespoons of minced meat in a line about 1 cm from the bottom edge. Brush the sides with beaten egg, fold them in slightly, and roll them up to form cigar-shaped sticks. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the cigars for 3-4 minutes. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the minced meat with crumbled goat cheese and chopped parsley.
