Peinirli
The peinirli (or penirli) is an elongated, open pie made in a boat shape. They contain a substantial amount of yellow cheese and optionally, meats or vegetables. Peinirli originated in Turkey, where it is known as ''peynirli''. There are two types of ''pide'': ''peynirli pide'', in which cheese entirely covers the surface of the filling and ''karışık pide'', which has cheese only as part of the filling (usually one third). Etymology "Peinirli", meaning with cheese, comes from the Turkish roots ''peynir'' ("cheese") + ''-li'' ("with"). The suffix ''-li'' is also used for ingredients, such as '' kıymalı'' ("with minced meat"), ''pastırmalı'' ("with pastirma"), or '' ıspanaklı'' ("with spinach").
