The Turkish zucchini fritters often served with yogurt are called mücver.
Mücver is made primarily from grated zucchini, mixed with egg, flour, onion, dill and parsley. Some recipes add cheese, potatoes or Turkish white cheese such as beyaz peynir. The mixture is shaped into small patties or spooned directly into hot oil, producing crisp edges and a soft vegetable center.
The dish is usually served hot or warm, commonly with yogurt or a yogurt-based sauce. Its name has an Ottoman connection: historical records used the form “mücmer” for a cooking technique, which later developed into the modern Turkish word mücver.
A common mix-up is confusing mücver with latkes or other potato pancakes. They may look similar, but classic mücver is associated with zucchini and Turkish herb seasoning. Kısır is a bulgur salad, gözleme is a filled flatbread, and börek is a pastry family, so none matches this fritter description.
