Betül Altay advances in MasterChef Turkey after winning three‑way gyoza duel

Betül Altay, a 24‑year‑old gastronomy graduate from Trabzon, won the three‑contestant duel on MasterChef Turkey. The challenge required the contestants to prepare a gyoza dish, and judges praised Altay’s plate for its technical skill and flavor, noting only minor adjustments to the size and closure technique. Her victory moves her into the next round, bringing her one step closer to the coveted main‑cast slot.

Altay’s win sparked a wave of commentary on social media, with viewers urging that she “will definitely make the main cast” and lauding her calm confidence in the kitchen. During the pre‑elimination episode, Altay also joked with the TV8 production team by claiming she was Russian, a quip that amused the judges and crew.

The show continues to track her progress as she competes for a place among the season’s top chefs.
