Meat hingel with yogurt is a regional dumpling dish made from dough parcels filled with seasoned meat, boiled, and topped with yogurt. Garlic yogurt and a butter sauce are common serving additions, though recipes vary by household.
Meat hingel with yogurt is associated with northeastern Turkey, especially Kars and nearby areas. Related hingel dishes are also made across the Caucasus and eastern Anatolia, with local differences in shape, filling, and toppings.
No. Meat hingel with yogurt is related to manti, but hingel pieces are often larger and may be folded into different shapes. Turkish manti is commonly made as small dumplings, so the two dishes differ in size and regional preparation.
To make meat hingel with yogurt, prepare a firm dough, roll it out, cut it into pieces, and fill each with seasoned ground meat. Seal the dumplings, boil until cooked, then serve with yogurt and any desired butter topping.
Ground meat is used in meat hingel with yogurt, most often beef or lamb depending on the recipe. It is usually mixed with onion and seasoning; keep the filling fairly dry so it does not make the dough difficult to seal.
Meat hingel with yogurt dumplings usually open when their edges are not sealed firmly or the filling is too wet. Press the dough edges together well, avoid overfilling, and lower the dumplings gently into boiling water.
Meat hingel with yogurt is served hot, with yogurt spooned over the boiled dumplings. Many cooks add garlic to the yogurt and finish the dish with melted butter, sometimes seasoned with paprika or dried mint.
Yes, you can freeze meat hingel with yogurt before boiling. Freeze the uncooked dumplings in a single layer first, then transfer them to a sealed container; cook them straight from frozen so they are less likely to stick together.
Store leftover meat hingel with yogurt in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. If possible, keep the yogurt separate from the dumplings, then reheat the dumplings gently and add fresh yogurt to serve.
A crisp salad or pickled vegetables pair well with meat hingel with yogurt. The dumplings already make a filling main dish, so a lighter side adds contrast without competing with the yogurt and meat flavors.

Meat hingel with yogurt is a regional dumpling dish associated with northeastern Turkey and the Caucasus. Pieces of dough are filled with minced meat, sealed, boiled and served with yogurt; a buttery sauce is often added on top. Recipes and shapes vary from one household to another.
The dumplings are soft and filling, with savory meat balanced by cool, tangy yogurt. In Turkey they are usually served hot as a main meal, sometimes with salad or pickles alongside. The meat and yogurt contribute protein, while the dough makes the dish substantial. For a lighter plate, use less butter on top and pair it with fresh greens.
