Fleischkuekle (alsoFleischkuechle, fromAlemannic/South Franconian andEast FranconianFleischküchle, "littlemeat pie") is a deep-friedturnover similar to theCrimean Tatarcheburek. The dish is a traditionalBlack Sea Germans /Crimea Germans recipe, and through immigration became an addition to thecuisine of North Dakota. This dish, which has typically ground or minced meat and onions as a filling, is popular among the many German-Russian immigrant families ofNorth Dakota.[1]
The dish is particularly common at main-street diners,[2] especially inMercer County, North Dakota,[3][4] and on menus atfraternal organizations around the state.
InMercer County, diners typically provide pickles and ketchup on the side. The dish is served with gravy inFargo. A slice of cheese on top is not an uncommon request.[citation needed]
