A famous börek from Istanbul's Sarıyer district: crisp, deep-fried rolls with a minced-meat filling. The local börek shops serve them in the morning with fresh tea.
Cook the onion in oil until translucent, add the minced meat, and brown for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up. Stir in the paprika, season with salt and pepper, then cool and mix in the parsley.
Whisk the eggs with the milk.
Cut the yufka sheets into quarters (triangles), and brush each with the egg-milk mixture.
Place a tablespoon of filling at the wide end of each, fold in the sides, and roll into a tight log; seal the end with the egg-milk mixture.
Fry in medium-hot oil in batches for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.
Drain on paper towel, and serve warm with tea or ayran.
