Turkey is not a "dairy country" like Holland or Denmark. Milk (süt) and milk products (süt ürünleri, such as peynir, cheese) play an important part in the Turkish diet, but they are not used in most foods.

You will see milk mostly in the form of yogurt, white sheeps'-milk cheese ("feta," or beyaz peynir in Turkish), and yellow cheese (kashar peynir). France may be the land of 500 cheeses, but in Turkey you'll see mostly these two.

Traditional Turkish bread is a sourdough loaf, and so far as I know does not contain milk or milk products.

One "milk" you needn't worry about: "lion's milk" (raki).
