Tbh I didn't have one in particular in mind; I just wanted to suggest it as a resource and see where that ended up. But I thought "Turkish appetizers" looked pretty interesting for a start.

If we're going to do hard texts I'd prefer to go to Wikipedia or the news....

Not sure where the oil (yağ) comes into this.

Assimil is good. (And it's in French, so you can also revise your French!)
Saim and I are fond of books which are used to teach the target language at the language courses in the country where it is spoken. Like this series named 'Istanbul' which Saim and Vijay are following in this group:
https://www.hepsiburada.com/istanbul-ya ... 000006MJRV
These books are usually monolingual, so you'd have to look up the grammar elsewhere. The pluses of these books are that they teach up-to-date language, and they are usually more fun than traditional textbooks (they have more lively dialogues and texts, and they have lots of pictures).
(You can easily find 'Istanbul' series in PDF).
EDIT: And of course there is also Duolingo Turkish, if you like Duolingo. Their Turkish course is pretty good.
