Afyon Sucuġu

Known as sujuk to the rest of the world, afyon sucuġu is a dry-fermented, spicy sausage, traditionally produced in Afyonkarahisar, a Turkish province nestled inland from the Aegean Sea coast. Sucuġu is a halāl-certified product consisting of ground beef that's typically flavored and seasoned with cumin, sumac, garlic, salt, pepper, red paprika, and (often) thyme.

To start your day with a proper Turkish breakfast, Afyon sucuġu should be simply fried with eggs and accompanied by a hot cup of black tea, but it can also be cooked with haricot beans or enjoyed in a Turkey-style grilled sandwich called sucuġu ekmek.
