Abstract :Turkish cuisine has evolved through various stages throughout history to reach its current form. This process consists of different phases, including the Central Asian period, the Seljuk and Beylik periods, the Ottoman period, the Republican period, and the modern period. Turks, who adopted a nomadic lifestyle, have interacted with many different societies throughout history. Therefore, it is not sufficient to limit Turkish food culture to these periods alone. This study aims to comprehensively address Turkish culinary culture, which holds a unique position among world cuisines. In this context, the general characteristics of Turkish cuisine, its stages of transformation throughout history, its cultural diversity, and its relationship with traditional foods are examined, and a detailed evaluation based on the relevant literature is presented. The subject is important in terms of revealing the richness of Turkish culinary culture and its value in terms of cultural heritage. Traditional Turkish cuisine is an important cultural heritage that reflects traces from the past to the future. However, this heritage needs to be protected in the face of global dynamics and the rapid changes brought about by modern life. The sustainability of Turkish cuisine in the future will be possible through the preservation of traditional recipes, support for local production, and the transmission of culinary culture to younger generations. Additionally, more effort is needed to promote Turkish cuisine internationally and increase its contributions to world gastronomy.
