Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients

    Gather measured doner meat, flatbread, salad, yogurt garlic sauce, chili sauce, olive oil, a skillet, tongs, knife, board, spoon, and plate. · 5 min

    What to look for: All ingredients and tools are within reach.

  2. Warm Bread

    Heat the skillet over medium heat, then warm each flatbread for 45 seconds per side until soft, flexible, and lightly toasted. · 3 min

    What to look for: The bread bends easily and has light toasted spots.

  3. Heat Doner

    Add olive oil and doner meat to the hot skillet, then fry while turning until the edges brown and the meat is steaming hot. · 5 min

    When it is done: Check that reheated meat is steaming hot, or reaches 74°C / 165°F for poultry doner or 63°C / 145°F for lamb or beef.

  4. Add Sauces

    Spoon yogurt garlic sauce over the warm bread, then add chili sauce in a thin line so every bite gets cool creaminess and heat. · 2 min

    What to look for: The sauces sit in even streaks across the bread.

  5. Fill Kebab

    Pile hot doner meat onto the sauced bread, add salad, and fold the bread snugly around the filling without crushing it. · 1 min

    What to look for: The filling is enclosed but still visible at the top.

  6. Serve Immediately

    Serve the doner kebab right away on warm plates while the bread is soft, the meat is juicy, and the sauces run into the salad. · 1 min

    What to look for: The kebab looks full, glossy, and ready to eat.
