- 500 g (just over 1 pound) turkey mince
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
- 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning or use cayenne pepper for a bit of spice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 2 chicken stock cubes , crumbled (or use 2 tsp bouillon powder)
Serving suggestions (as a salad or in a wrap)
- pita bread or flatbread Lebanese pita bread preferably
- onions
- shredded lettuce
- shredded red cabbage
- sliced tomatoes
- cucumber
Sauce suggestions
- Sriracha or other hot sauce
- mayonnaise
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
PREPARE THE DONER MEAT
- Add the ground turkey and pork to a large bowl and mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon.
- Add all the spices and seasoning and mix really well so that the spices are well distributed.
- Place two pieces of foil on your counter top. Add the meat and shape into a meatloaf shape. Wrap really tightly with two layers of foil.
Cup of Yum
AIR FRY
- Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-30 minutes at 160°C (325°F), flipping over halfway through.
- Carefully unwrap the doner meat and cook, uncovered, for a further 10-15 minutes at 180°C (360°F), turning over so the meat browns evenly on all sides. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of your doner meat is 75°C (167°F).
SLICE THE DONER MEAT
- Rest the meat, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes or a bit longer so it becomes firmer and easier to slice. Use a sharp knife to slice the doner into thin strips or use a large peeler to create really thin strips (this works best if the meat is cold).
SERVE AND ENJOY
- IN A DONER KEBAB WRAP
- AS A KEBAB SALAD
- You can serve the meat in a salad bowl packed with sliced lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, tzatziki or yogurt and pita bread triangles.
- AS A WRAP
- I love using very thin strips of doner meat piled high on flatbread or pita bread with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, garlicky tzatziki, mayonnaise and sriracha sauce.
Notes
- SLIMMING DONER KEBAB Use a wholemeal wrap (one WW wrap is allowed as a healthy extra but if not used as a HE it is 6 syns) and serve with sliced onions, lettuce, tomatoes and low fat mayo / salad cream / hot sauce. Or serve as a salad bowl packing in loads of veggies and skipping the wrap.
- SAUCE IT UP! I have to say that I am partial to almost all the sauces in my kebabs. I love mixing sour cream with yellow mustard and ketchup and adding a drizzle of Sriracha for good measure!
