Most of us don't have a vertical, rotating spit at home, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy delicious gyros whenever you want! Make juicy, tender, seasoned lamb gyro meat at home with just a bread loaf pan!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 pounds ground lamb
- 0.5 cups Greek seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 12 pitas breads , 6 inch
- 1 head iceberg lettuce , finely shredded
- 5 medium Roma tomatoes , diced
- 1 medium red onion , diced
- 0.5 cups tzatziki sauce , or more to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spray a large loaf pan with cooking spray.
-
2
Combine lamb, Greek seasoning, and egg in a bowl. Mix until ingredients are very well combined (overmixing is preferable here.) Firmly press mixture into the prepared loaf pan, making sure there are no air pockets under the meat. Cover with foil.
-
3
Cook in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 2 hours.

Remove from the oven and let rest, covered, until all the grease on top is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove meat from the pan and cut into thin slices.

Load meat into the center of warmed pitas. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.

Chicken Spaghetti Sauce
I created this ground chicken spaghetti recipe on the fly because I didn't have my usual ingredients for a sauce. I was so happy with how it tasted that I decided to make this my first recipe submission. This makes a very light sauce. If you prefer a heartier sauce, add 1/2 can of tomato paste or even use crushed tomatoes instead of whole, but I encourage you to try it as written; it's so yummy! Serve over al dente spaghetti noodles. I hope you enjoy!
