I used triangle yufka sold in package. You can find these packages (whole or triangular cut pastry leaves) in Turkish or Mediterranean stores if you have any in your area. Or, you can shop from Tulumba.com which is online Turkish grocery store:)

Are the packages of yufka frozen? I have not seen it at the grocery store, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. This dish sounds delicious!
They are in the section of frozen foods at Turkish grocery:)
Hello,
in my local Turkish store, the yufka is not frozen, it's placed next to creams, cheeses and yogurts.
Is this something you could substitute egg roll wrappers for? I think you did in another recipe? I'm in New Mexico; nothing Turkish in this whole state!
Hi,
You can substitute yufka in this recipe with Original Tortillas which I think you can find easily where you live:) The egg rolls are not suitable for this one.
