It's not soecifically 16th century, but Marianna Yerasimos' "500 Years of Ottoman Cuisine" (Boyut Publishing Group, and I'missing the rest of the data right now) is pretty good. She identifies her sources and while much of her data is seventeenth and eighteenth century, some of it is period. Her recipe redactions also look viable, though unfortunately she doesn't give verbatim quotes from the sources 

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a very common book. I had to ILL it from Bavaria.
