Food is the most important prerequisite for human survival. Societies have developed different food cultures over time due to their social, cultural, economic and religious differences. The Turks, who came to Anatolia from Central Asia, have a rich culinary culture due to their long historical background and accumulation. The Turks ruled Anatolia for centuries and were instrumental in the formation of the key factors that shaped Anatolian cuisine. When the Turks immigrated from Central Asia, they brought their traditions and customs with them. The Turks who settled in Anatolia added new food cultures to the old eating habits they encountered. During the Ottoman Empire, Turkish food culture brought together people from different classes and backgrounds and interacted with the food culture of many nations. In addition, technological developments and changing world standards play an important role in changing eating habits and cultures. The aim of this study is to examine the development of Turkish food culture in Anatolia from the first settlement of Turks in Central Asia to the present day.
