It is natural for fans to be interested in the lives of stars. Nutrition, which is an integral part of human life, is also among these. They say that by looking at a person's favorite dishes, one can learn about certain aspects of their character. At the very least, we have the opportunity to compare our own taste with that of our favorite actor.

Famous Turkish actors, just like other ordinary people, love delicious food. Below we will get acquainted with the favorite dishes of Turkish series stars.

1. Can Yaman

Known through the series "The Early Bird", "Strawberry Smell", and "Mr. Wrong", Can Yaman regularly plays sports and pays attention to his diet. Despite this, he cannot give up national dishes either.

Among Can Yaman's favorite dishes are kebab, türlü (vegetable stew), börek (traditional layered pie), köfte (meatballs/cutlets), and dolma.

In addition, since the actor lived in Italy for a while, he also loves Italian cuisine. His favorite dishes include Neapolitan pizza, pasta all'amatriciana, and layered tiella casserole.

2. Burak Özçivit

Burak Özçivit, world-famous for his roles in series such as "Endless Love", "Wren", and "Establishment: Osman", also pays attention to his diet. However, he cannot give up the rich Turkish breakfast either. When asked which dish from Turkish cuisine should be tried, the actor mentioned this very breakfast first and foremost.

In addition, like many other men, Burak loves meat dishes. He especially likes shish kebab and Adana kebab.

The actor is also a fan of Russian cuisine. He liked pirozhki, borscht, chak-chak, and Russian sweets. Of course, Burak also really likes the dishes prepared by his wife, Fahriye Evcen.

3. Hande Erçel

Hande Erçel, the star of the series "Love is in the Air", also has to show a lot of willpower to resist various delicious dishes of Turkish cuisine. Because the actress needs to keep her figure in shape.

Hande's favorite snack is simit with tea. This is a ring-shaped Turkish bread baked with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The actress often eats dishes prepared from seafood. In particular, she likes mussels, shrimp, and squid. In one of her interviews in 2019, she stated that her favorite breakfast was cereal prepared from cornflakes and coffee, and her most favorite snack was chips.

4. Afra Saraçoğlu

Afra Saraçoğlu, the star of the series "Golden Boy", rarely talks about her taste in food. As it turned out, she excluded gluten and yeast from her diet. It is interesting how she is giving up sesame simit with such restrictions.

Afra's daily menu might appeal to proponents of healthy eating: oatmeal for breakfast, yogurt for a snack, chicken cooked with vegetables and quinoa for lunch, and fish with vegetables for dinner. Despite this, the actress sometimes eats sweets so as not to feel under strict restrictions.

5. Aras Bulut İynemli

Aras Bulut İynemli, known for his roles in the series "Genius", "Atatürk", and "The Pit", also does not talk much about his attitude toward food. Since the actor is prone to gaining weight, he needs to pay special attention to his diet.

He loves meat dishes very much. In Turkey, dishes prepared by combining meat with vegetables and grains are also widespread. In the country, preference is given more to beef, lamb, and poultry.

Aras did not say exactly which meat dishes he likes. However, it is known that he loves dolma and rice, especially when prepared by his mother. Coffee also holds a special place among his favorite drinks. In addition, the actor loves cooking and coming up with new recipes.

6. Burak Deniz

Burak Deniz, star of series such as "Hayat Songül", "Night Tale", also does not often talk about his taste in food. The reason for this is that he is one of those people who are not picky about food. The actor loves meat, dolma, and spaghetti.

Burak's fans sometimes know that for him, the most delicious dish can be simple hotel soup. One day, the actor returned to his hotel hungry and ordered food. But since the chefs had finished their working hours, he entered the kitchen and took the soup prepared for the staff.

Later, Burak apologized for this and expressed his readiness to cover the damage. He was very hungry, and the soup was also extremely delicious.

7. Nesrin Cavadzade

Nesrin Cavadzade, star of the series "My Wonderful Life", "Dangerous Love", also did not speak openly about her favorite dishes. As it turned out, the actress prefers organic, natural products grown without fertilizers and additives. She also restricts the consumption of gluten contained in wheat and other grain products. However, sesame simit can sometimes be found among her snacks.

The Azerbaijani actress tries to taste local dishes when she goes to her homeland. Azerbaijani cuisine is similar to Turkish dishes in many respects: kebab, dolma, and baklava are also widespread here. Probably, most of them have taken a place among Nesrin's favorite dishes as well.

8. Halit Ergenç

Halit Ergench, who won the love of viewers with the image of Sultan Suleiman, is also not one of those actors who like to talk about their favorite dishes. It is not yet known which dishes in Turkish cuisine the star of the series "Magnificent Century" likes.

It can be assumed that the actor lovingly eats the dishes lovingly prepared by his wife, Bergüzar Korel. Bergüzar likes cooking and pays special attention to dishes prepared from fresh, organic products. The couple even opened a cafe in Istanbul, in the development of the menu of which Bergüzar herself participated. But according to open sources, this venue is currently not operating.

After the couple moved to Great Britain, they opened a chain of bakeries specializing in Turkish pastries and light snacks there. And this indicates their love for national pastries.

The dish that took a special place in Halit's heart is borscht. In one of his interviews, the actor said that he gladly prepares this dish at his home in Turkey as well.

9. Meryem Uzerli

Meryem Uzerli, star of the series "Magnificent Century" and "Queen of the Night", likes to talk about diets and healthy eating. However, she speaks less about her favorite dishes that are not very suitable for a diet.

As it turned out, the actress allows herself to sometimes eat Turkish delight, halva, and rice pudding from sweets. She appreciates home-cooked meals like most busy people. Her daily menu often includes bulgur and chicken meat, lentils, and vegetable salads. Meryem does not forget moderation to maintain her figure.

In the process of preparing for the role of Hurrem, she was asked to gain 13 kilograms of weight. Shortly after, the actress became pregnant and gained a few more kilograms. As a result, she had to get rid of a total of 20 kilograms of excess weight. And a healthy diet routine helped with this.

10. Kerem Bürsin

Kerem Bürsin, star of the series "Love is in the Air", "Heartbeat", loves Turkish baklava very much. In addition, like most men, he also likes kebab.
