Sucuk (Turkish Dry Sausage)
Sucuk (Turkish Dry Sausage) is a spicy, air-dried sausage popular in Turkish and broader Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisines, typically seasoned with garlic and red pepper and eaten sliced, fried or grilled. It is a concentrated source of animal protein and flavor, often used in breakfasts, sandwiches and cooked dishes. Nutritionally it is high in fat—especially saturated fat—and contains a substantial amount of salt at 4.5g per 100g, so portions are usually small when eaten as part of a meal. While it provides good-quality protein and some minerals like zinc and vitamin B12, consider using it sparingly or swapping to lower-fat poultry sausages or fresh lean sausages for more frequent use.
