Fleischkuekle (also Fleischkuechle, from Alemannic/South Franconian and East Franconian Fleischküchle, "little meat pie") is a deep-fried turnover similar to the Crimean Tatar cheburek. The dish is a traditional Black Sea Germans / Crimea Germans recipe, and through immigration became an addition to the cuisine 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 of North Dakota.
The dish is particularly common at main-street diners, especially in Mercer County, North Dakota, and on menus at fraternal organizations around the state.
In Mercer County, diners typically provide pickles and ketchup on the side. The dish is served with gravy in Fargo. A slice of cheese on top is not an uncommon request.
