An Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese is a savory pastry filled with cooked, roasted meat and Turkish kashar cheese. The exact dough and shape vary by recipe, but the filling combines tender meat with cheese that melts as the pastry cooks.
The defining filling in an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese is kavurma, a traditional cooked meat preparation, paired with kashar. Many other börek fillings use seasoned minced meat, spinach, or white cheese instead.
To make an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese, layer or wrap pastry dough around chopped kavurma and grated kashar, seal the edges, and bake until browned. The precise method depends on the dough; avoid overfilling so the cheese does not leak out.
Yufka or another thin börek pastry gives an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese a delicate, layered finish. A thicker dough makes a more substantial pastry. Follow the recipe’s method, since thin sheets and thicker pastry need different handling and cooking times.
Yes, you can assemble an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until baking. Bake it shortly before serving for the crispest layers; do not leave the assembled pastry at room temperature for an extended period.
Reheat an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese in an oven or toaster oven rather than a microwave. Dry heat helps restore a crisp exterior while warming the kavurma and melting the kashar; heat only the portion you plan to eat.
An Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese can be served as a filling snack or as part of a meal. Pair it with a fresh salad or soup when serving it as a main, since the pastry itself is rich and substantial.
You can substitute another good-melting cheese in an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese, but the taste and texture will change. Kashar gives the pastry its characteristic Turkish cheese flavor; choose a cheese that melts smoothly and is not overly watery.
Yes, freeze an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese after it has cooled completely. Wrap individual portions well to protect them from freezer burn, then thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to improve the pastry’s texture.
To make an Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese less rich, use less added fat, trim excess fat from the kavurma, and reduce the amount of kashar. Baking it instead of frying and serving it with crisp vegetables also makes the meal feel lighter.

Adana pastry with kavurma and kashar cheese is a savoury börek-style pastry filled with kavurma—meat cooked slowly in its own fat—and kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese that melts well. The Adana name points to a regional take on this hearty combination.
It is best served warm, when the pastry is crisp and the meat-and-cheese filling is soft, salty and rich. In Turkey, börek is commonly eaten at breakfast, with tea or as a filling snack; it also works as a simple meal. This is an energy-dense choice, with 361 calories per 100 g, so a moderate slice alongside salad or fresh vegetables makes a more balanced plate.
