The famous Turkish dessert made with layers of phyllo pastry and chopped nuts is called Baklava.

Baklava is a sweet pastry that is traditionally served in many countries in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, but it is especially popular in Turkey. It is made by layering phyllo pastry with a mixture of chopped nuts (typically walnuts, pistachios or almonds), and then soaking the pastry in a sweet syrup made with honey or sugar. The layers of phyllo pastry become flaky and crispy when baked, while the nuts give the pastry a rich, nutty flavor.
