Gyro Recipes

This is my adaptation to the Gyro. This meal is a godsend for me when I'm craving restaurant food. Not only is it filling, it tastes like you're cheating.

Add a little zest to your brunch with this tasty Gyro salad. Low on fat of packed with flavor.

Gone Vegan or vegetarian? Miss gyros? Yeah, me too. So, here we have the taste, the texture, the excitement of a really GREEK-tasting sammidge, with absolutely NONE of the animal products. NONE. Dig THAT!.

I threw these together today with ingredients we had on hand, & they were delightful! They tasted a bit like gyros! (The pic shows variations of hummus, but for simplicity, the recipe only calls for one flavor.)

Cucumbers were thought to originate over 10,000 years ago in southern Asia. Early explorers and travelers introduced this vegetable to India and other parts of Asia. It was very popular in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome, whose people used it not only as a food but also for its beneficial skin healing properties. The early colonists introduced cucumbers to the United States.

Cucumbers are scientifically known as Cucumis sativus and belong to the same family as watermelon, zucchini, pumpkin, and other types of squash.

I invented this while waiting at a sub shop for my husband's steak and cheese when I REALLY wanted a Gyro.....figured I could make a healthier version.

For those of you who miss gyros, this is a very tasty and nutritious pita filling!

Needed a low cal alternative for fair gyros, I came up with a tasty turkey-beef combo that made a great substitute.
You can use traditional lamb, just be sure to adjust the calories.

A sandwich low in fat, and tastes great, say good-bye to the bun!

This is a good Soup for a party

This is a quick and easy chicken gyro recipe. It's delicious but also easy and fast enough for a weeknight evening. It's also full of veggies, flavor and healthy nutrition.

Pairs beautifully with my "Easy Chicken Gyros". Uses the same basic flavors and you can use the rest of your tomatoes, onions and peppers from the gyro recipe.

Healthy and tasty twist on Gyros

I made his one night for our anniversary... my boyfriend was very leary about trying it. After eating it he was hooked. we make it all the time now.

The nutritionals on this do not include buns.

I typically have ground turkey on hand, so I used this instead of the traditional meats.

Gyro loaf

This is a great "make your own" gyro pita's. Using cubed lamb rather than lamb loaf, you keep quite a few unneeded carbs out of the recipe, and this is a very healty alternative to the general gyro you would get in a restaurant. My family LOVES this one!

"This Greek/Lebanese style meat loaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes for a delicious gyro that is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other stuff!"

Original recipe called for 1/2 beef, and 1/2 lamb. I changed to ground turkey to make it a bit healthier.
