Turkish Meat Döner

I recently came across a new viral Turkish dinner idea, and I immediately thought, how have I not been making this all along? The spices are perfectly balanced, and once you add a bit of sautéed onion, everything suddenly makes perfect sense. I knew I wanted the dish to be thin and irresistible — almost like a savory meat roll-up. You simply unroll it straight from the oven, and it can be pulled apart any way you like. Add it to a sandwich or stuff it into a warm, toasty pita. It’s ridiculously delicious and such an easy dinner to throw together.

Easy Meat

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Sesame, Egg

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until golden.

  2. Combine the ground meat, sautéed onion, mayonnaise, olive oil, and spices in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.

  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  4. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Place one cup of the meat

    mixture in the center of the parchment paper. Place a second sheet of parchment

    paper on top of the meat. Using a rolling pin, roll the meat between the parchment sheets into a thin, even layer.

  5. Remove the top parchment paper and roll the meat tightly into a flat log. Repeat with the remaining meat. Place the logs of meat on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Add some sliced onion, cherry tomatoes, and green chili peppers, if desired. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 20 minutes.

  7. Unroll and serve in a laffa or pita with your choice of toppings.
