Instructions
- Grate the onion and squeeze out the juice. Save the pulp to make delicious Turkish Grilled Lamb Kofta - Izgara Kofte or Turkish Sarma Lamb Beyti Kebab, and keep the juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, onion juice, yogurt, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well for 8 to 10 minutes, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is firm.
- Cover the bowl and let it marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- After the marinating period, place the meat mixture on a large piece of tin foil. Shape it into a log or cylinder, about 2-3 inches in diameter, and wrap it tightly, ensuring it is compact and holds its shape.
- Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Thread two skewers through the log; they will make it easier to hold the doner vertically and slice thinly.
- Place the log on the baking tray and cook the doner meat in your preheated oven for 50 minutes.
- Remove the log from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Peel off the tin foil and shave the meat thinly using a very sharp knife.
- Return the meat to the baking tray and place it in the oven for another 5-6 minutes, until the meat slices are nicely browned.
- Serve your Doner Kebab on pita bread along with sliced fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and pickles or over rice.
Notes
- The ground lamb or beef should have a minimum of 20% fat for the most delicious doner kebabs. The high-fat content helps keep the doner kebab juicy during cooking.
- Mix the doner mixture well for 8 to 10 minutes, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is firm.
- Don’t skimp on the marinating time. The longer the meat marinates, the better the flavor will be. Overnight is best, but if you’re in a hurry, aim for at least 2 hours.
- Threading skewers through the meat log will make slicing easier.
- Store the leftover meat in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months
