Fleischkuekle (also Fleischkuechle, from Alemannic/South Franconian and East Franconian Fleischküchle, "little meat pie") is a deep-fried turnover similar to 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 is popular among the many Russian-German immigrant families of North Dakota.[1]

The dish is particularly common at main-street diners,[2] especially in Mercer County, North Dakota,[3][4] 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.
