Almost all summers of my childhood were spent in Armutlu. We used to go to our house there at the beginning of summer and return at the end of summer a week before the schools opened.
At that time I was fond of food, but only as a eater. Those who know the area also know that there are many olive trees. I still can't get rid of the olive oil made with olives collected by the villagers from their own olive groves, homemade tomato paste and Turkish delight with walnuts.
It was always made from this morsel and served in feasts, weddings and circumcisions. The first question I ask when we go to visit during the holidays is do you have Turkish delight? would be :)
I wouldn't change the taste of the walnut Turkish delight made with pure olive oil for anything. The interesting thing is that when these Turkish delights go a little stale and harden a little, they are so good that it blows my mind.
When we stopped by my fathers yesterday, he said that he had collected a big bag of walnuts. When I said come on, you can make us something and bring them, my mother said I would like Turkish delight :) I couldn't do anything because the walnuts were fresh, but I bought walnuts from the nut shop and started preparing them as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning.
The fragrant smell that surrounded the house while it was cooking took me years ago. Now I'm on my way to pack the Turkish delights and take them to my moms.
If you are a fan of different flavors, I definitely recommend you to try it.
Love…

How to Make Turkish Delight with Walnut Recipe?
- Add 2 tablespoons of yeast and 2 sugar cubes to 2 glasses of warm water and mix. Wait about 10 minutes for the yeast to activate. (Yeast will foam)
- Add 5 glasses of flour, half a tea glass of olive oil and 1 pinch of salt to the water and knead a soft dough. (If the dough is too sticky at this point, you can add half a glass of flour little by little)
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, take walnuts, spices and sugar into the blender and mix for 1-2 turns. (don't let the walnuts crumble too much)
- Divide the 2-3 times dough into 3 parts. Take the first piece on the oiled counter, apply a little more olive oil on it and roll it out with the help of a roller.
- Spread one third of the stuffing on the rolled dough and roll it. Cut the roll into equal pieces.
- Do the same for the other two meringues and place the Turkish delight on the greased tray or cast iron pan.
- Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
- Before putting it in the oven, mix the molasses and water and brush it on the Turkish delights with the help of a brush. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until golden brown.
10- When it cools down, take it out of the container and serve.
Hello… this recipe is for those who like walnut Turkish delight sweet… 6 spoons of sugar and water with molasses on it is a very sweet Turkish delight. Since most of my family is from Gemlik, I have eaten a lot of it. We even like to eat it with saddle olives. So our Turkish delight is not sweet. Still. thank you for your hard work and recipe..
I was very excited when I saw my grandmother's recipe, this Turkish delight, which is always consumed instead of bread, would be wonderful, the only difference was that after cutting the roll, each cut piece was dipped in sesame and placed on a tray with the sesame area on top and put in the oven.
Thank you. I will definitely try. Love :)
I kept the dough according to the recipe, waited. However, it did not rise in the oven at all.
My childhood was spent in Gemlik just like you lived in Armutlu. It is very nice that you have turned the Turkish delight, which we made with our eyes, into a recipe. Thanks.
Hi nilay hn,
As someone who was originally from pears but was completely estranged after school and work, the smell of Turkish delight came to my nose. When I saw the name of the recipe, I was surprised that others knew it too :) but it became clear at the beginning of the article..:) as if you gave my father's recipe without changing it, thank you.. I would like to see the wedding Turkish delight distributed in henna and pear among your recipes..
Good morning, Ms. Nilay; I like your recipe very much, is it okay if poppy is put into the oil in this recipe, I ate it somewhere, but I don't know if it was this way.
My mother mashes boiled potatoes and puts it in the dough, it is very good. I highly recommend you try it :D
You gave the recipe one by one. It was a recipe that I couldn't get from my mother as a person from Bursa.. You can't have breakfast without Turkish delight on the morning of the feast, thanks to you, I will continue the same tradition at my father's stove :)
Happy for me :) Best regards…
How about we add some tahini or poppy to this recipe?
. I hope you continue, it's nice, thank you
as a nutrition and dietetics student, I had to prepare local delicacies for my homework in bursa, I will use your recipe as an overgrown pear.
very nice recipe, good luck to your hands, can we use powdered sugar in the same amount?
You can also add crushed gum to the dough. She's a wonderful priest.
It smelled like musk to my nose. We are trying to continue this tradition in weddings and circumcisions in Istanbul. Thank you for reminding me of my childhood and youth in Armutlu :)
Hello, Ms. Nilay, can we cook these in my debt?
Of course it will :) Best regards..
Thank you for your answer. I'm going to ask one more question, I'm doing it right now, but I wonder if the olive oil is heavy or smells?
Yes it does, but I think it adds to its beauty. You can mix olive oil and vegetable oil if you want.
I guess you know that this tradition still continues in pear, at weddings, especially at the bazaar cafes, there is nothing as beautiful as doing this work together.
Nice walnut Turkish delight from my beautiful Bursam. Your grandmother used to do it, God bless you. I will try too. Thanks for the recipe.
Can we use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast? How many grays of a 40-gr package of fresh yeast should be used?
my grandma used to do it. you reminded me of him
The recipe is great…I love it.
They look very nice. I will make these delights as soon as possible, inshallah :-)
I like your recipe very much, good luck to you :)
