Accompanied by a white cheese sandwich. The sandwich might be an acquired taste for folks who are not fans of cheese, but we are in Turkey and everyone loves cheese here!
Ending with a tub of delicious strawberry yoghurt.
Both hot and cold beverages were offered as well. For the cold beverages available in economy on this short flight, TK offered freshly-squeezed orange juice (yes, freshly squeezed with pulp and all in Economy class!!), sour cherry juice, apple juice, homemade lemonade, Aryan (a Turkish yoghurt drink) and water. Super impressive and I was totally blown away by the offerings on this short sector!! I chose a freshly-squeezed orange juice (SQ would only have this in Business Class on breakfast flights) and a sour cherry juice.
Rushing to complete the meal service, which the TK crew managed to do so effortlessly. Planet IFE was not turned on, but flight-map and camera views were available. More than sufficient for this flight.
Very soon, we were already approaching and descending into Izmir. Cabin was rapidly cleared for arrival.
Short video of the descent.

Making a steep turn back towards the runway.
Flaps out.
Runway in sight!
On finals.
And landing on Izmir Rwy34R at about 0920am, 20min late. Flight time was just a short 43min.
