Turkey Gyros

Gyros made easy and lighter with turkey! You are going to love these turkey gyros.

I’ve teamed up with Butterball for this week’s recipe: Turkey Gyros!
I love to eat a good gyro when I’m out, but did you know it’s pretty easy to make them at home? This recipe has everything you love about gyros including turkey which is always a leaner option.

To start, I marinated Butterball turkey breast cuts in a delicious gyro marinade overnight. If you don’t have the time to marinate over night, 4 hours in the fridge will work also.

In a large non stick skillet, cook the turkey on medium high to release most the moisture of the marinade and cook the turkey. The turkey will be fully cooked when it starts to brown in the pan.

Have all the ingredients ready to go to start assembly. You’ll need the cooked turkey, diced red onion, sliced fresh garden tomatoes, greek style pita bread and the Tzatziki Sauce.
