Etli Sarma

Etli Sarma – Stuffed Grape Leaves with Ground Meat (Traditional Turkish Style)

Product Overview

Etli Sarma (Stuffed Grape Leaves with Ground Meat) is the most traditional and flavorful form of Turkish dolma, blending tender vine leaves with a savory filling of premium minced meat, rice, onions, tomato, and spices. Slow-cooked in olive oil or light tomato sauce, it delivers a rich, aromatic taste that represents the essence of Turkish home-style cuisine. Its balanced texture and deep flavor make it a popular main course and a gourmet-ready meal for international markets.

At Tuna Sourcing, we produce ISO 22000-certified Etli Sarma using hand-selected Tokat and Sultana grape leaves, filled with carefully seasoned ground beef or lamb, and cooked gently to perfection. Each batch is prepared under strict food safety controls, maintaining authenticity, flavor consistency, and clean presentation. The product is offered ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, designed for both retail and HoReCa distribution.
