That stuff is gross.
The pide and bakery stuff like various versions of burek is mostly winner though for sure.
(study the variations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6rek#Turkish_variants)OP: see if you can find my partner's earring at ephesus, thanks.

Yeah, I'm fine with dairy. Cheers for this, useful advice!
How was the water situation? Thinking mainly should stick to bottled water, Komoot says there's a lot of public water fountains, not sure if we should trust it though.

Meat-free food will not be a problem.
Every roadside foodstop will offer 'pide', Turkish long/narrow pizza with topping of your choice.
Lentil soup often available at these places, as well.
Still eat dairy?
Try the 'yayik ayran', naturally, literally 'wild' fermented drinking yoghurt.
If it is slightly fizzy it is even better for your gut health and biome.
Turkish cheese 'peynir' can be a bit bland.
'Eski' should mean aged/tastier.
Crumbly Tulum peynir is normally aged in a goat skin.
Evening meals: seek out somewhere with steam trays for vegetable based dishes, and cool displays, of typical mezze-type dishes.
Turkish bakers offer a range of meat-free boreks, and do try the simit and Tahini bread/tahini ekmek.
