Default Plant I.D please

Hi, anyone recognise this plant, i have posted before on it, this is a cutting of a cutting, from a friend, the original was growing in Turkey.
I think it is a quite common house plant, mine has been outside though.
Thanks Paul

Looks like a succulent - bet you already knew that though! Could easily be a crassula of some kind. I find these kinds of plants so difficult because there are such a vast number of them. There are a lot of sedums that look a bit like that as well. Sorry I'm not much help.

Thanks, it looks edible for torts, as in succulents, but can't risk it. I like the plant anyway

I'm not sure if your leaves are wet or just shiny paul, this one is similar though probably not the same. It's a crassula but native to South Africa though no doubt it could grow in Turkey
