While there might have been some Jews in Turkey from earlier times, 
and they'd qualify as Mizrachim, the vast majority of Jews in Turkey 
fled there after they were driven out of Spain in 1492, hence they 
are Sephardim.

After i sent that post, i started looking for what Sephardim and 
Mizrachim have, but have only found one fruit bread recipe from 
Morocco (which i'll send after i get more info) - i'm still looking 
through my cookbooks.
