For a fixed set of positive integers R, we say H is an R-uniform hypergraph, or Rgraph, if the cardinality of each edge belongs to R.In this paper, we define a variant of Turán number in hypergraphs, namely the cover Turán number, denoted as êx R (n, G), as the maximum number of edges in the shadow graph of a Berge-G free R-graph on n vertices. We show a general upper bound on the cover Turán number of graphs and determine the cover Turán density of all graphs when the uniformity of the host hypergraph equals to 3.
