Tokat meatballs are Turkish meat patties traditionally made with minced beef, bread and onion. The mixture is shaped and cooked, commonly on a grill or in a pan; recipes may vary in their seasonings and exact proportions.
Tokat meatballs come from Tokat, a city and province in northern Turkey. They are one of the region’s local meat dishes, distinct from Tokat kebab, another well-known Tokat specialty.
Tokat meatballs are a regional variety of Turkish köfte, made with a characteristic combination of minced meat, bread and onion. Turkish köfte is a broad category, so its ingredients, shape and seasoning differ from one region and recipe to another.
The usual base for Tokat meatballs is minced beef, bread and onion. Salt and pepper are common additions, while some recipes include herbs or other seasonings; there is no single fixed ingredient list for every household version.
Tokat meatballs are shaped from the mixed meat filling and cooked until done, often over a grill or in a pan. Turning them only after the first side has set helps them keep their shape.
No. Tokat meatballs are patties made from minced meat, bread and onion. Tokat kebab is a separate dish, traditionally built from pieces of lamb and vegetables such as eggplant, tomatoes and peppers cooked on skewers.
Tokat meatballs pair well with rice, grilled vegetables, salad or yogurt. For a lighter meal, serve them with a fresh salad and yogurt rather than adding both bread and a large rice portion.
Yes, Tokat meatballs can be baked. Arrange the shaped patties with space between them on a lightly oiled tray and cook in a preheated oven until fully done; cooking time varies with their size and the oven.
Yes, you can shape Tokat meatballs ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them. Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods, and cook the patties thoroughly before serving.
Store cooked Tokat meatballs in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat them within three days. Reheat only the portion you need until it is hot throughout, rather than leaving leftovers at room temperature.

Tokat meatballs are a regional Turkish dish associated with Tokat, made from minced meat mixed with bread and onion, then seasoned and shaped into patties or small meatballs. They are usually pan-cooked or grilled and served hot as part of a main meal. In Turkey, they may come with rice, salad or grilled vegetables, and can also be tucked into bread for a simple meal.
The browned outside gives way to a tender, savoury centre, with onion and seasoning rounding out the flavour. They provide substantial protein, alongside a moderate amount of fat. For a lighter plate, grill rather than fry them and serve with a generous salad or vegetables.
