Turkish türlü is a home-style vegetable stew, usually made with eggplant, zucchini, potato, peppers, tomato and onion simmered together until tender. Olive oil is common in meat-free versions, though some households add meat; the mix varies with the season and the cook.
The vegetables become soft while the tomato-rich sauce stays hearty, making it good with bread or rice. In Turkey it may be served warm or at room temperature, often as part of a home-cooked meal. It is mostly vegetables and provides fibre, with 65 calories per 100 g. For a lighter pot, use oil sparingly and let the vegetables soften in the sauce rather than frying them first.

Turkish türlü is a home-style vegetable stew, usually made with a mix such as eggplant, zucchini, potato, peppers, onion and tomato. The exact combination varies with the season and what is on hand.
No, Turkish türlü is not the same dish as ratatouille, though both are vegetable stews. Türlü commonly includes potatoes and may be cooked with meat, while ratatouille is a French dish built around Mediterranean vegetables.
Eggplant, zucchini, potato, peppers, tomato and onion are common in Turkish türlü. Green beans are also often added, and the mix can change depending on the season or the cook's preference.
Turkish türlü is usually cooked gently in a pot with olive oil, tomato and a little water until the vegetables soften. Adding vegetables in stages according to how quickly they cook helps keep their shape.
Yes, Turkish türlü can be made with lamb or beef. Brown the meat and cook it until tender before adding the vegetables, so the meat has time to soften without overcooking them.
Turkish türlü is often served with rice pilaf, bulgur or bread to accompany its tomato-rich sauce. Plain yogurt also makes a common side, especially when the stew is served as a main meal.
Cut the vegetables into similarly sized pieces, add them in order of cooking time and avoid frequent stirring. Adding zucchini and eggplant later helps them hold their shape while the potatoes cook through.
Yes, Turkish türlü can be eaten cold or at room temperature, particularly when it is made with olive oil and served as part of a meze-style meal. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and serve only the portion you need.
Turkish türlü keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, Turkish türlü freezes well enough for later meals, although zucchini and eggplant may become softer after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly.
