dürüm

Dürüm is a Turkish wrap or sandwich in which a flatbread, typically lavash or yufka, is rolled around fillings such as döner meat, grilled kebab, or other cooked fillings. The bread is usually warmed and pliable, then wrapped around the fillings to create a portable meal. Common fillings include sliced döner or grilled lamb, beef, or chicken, along with salad items such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and parsley. Sauces such as garlic yogurt, chili sauce, or tahini may be added, and some versions include pickles or sumac for tang.

Dürüm variants include et dürüm (meat wrap), tavuk dürüm (chicken wrap), balık dürüm (fish wrap), and vegetarian dürüm with vegetables or falafel. In Turkey, dürüm is a popular street food and fast-food item, often served wrapped but sometimes open-faced or with extra bread, and commonly eaten with a beverage such as ayran.

In its broader usage, dürüm describes any rolled flatbread sandwich and is closely related to other kebab wraps globally, such as the döner kebab wrap in Germany or the Lebanese shawarma wrap, though dürüm typically uses a thin flatbread rather than a pita. The preparation and fillings vary regionally, reflecting local meats, sauces, and vegetables.

Etymology: dürüm means wrap or roll in Turkish. The dish is a staple of Turkish fast food and has spread with Turkish communities and restaurants worldwide.
