Easy Doner-Style Kebab
Easy Doner-Style Kebab layers spiced ground beef and lamb, baked thin so the edges turn crisp and slice beautifully. A tangy lemon-garlic yogurt sauce brightens the rich, smoky meat, and it’s best tucked into warm pita or lavash with tomatoes, onions, parsley, and a splash of hot sauce—perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 2
In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground lamb, onion, 3 tablespoons yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until very well combined and smooth.
- 3
Divide the meat mixture among 4 rectangular sheets of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment on top of each portion and use a rolling pin to spread the meat all the way to the edges in a very thin layer covering the parchment. Remove the top sheet.
- 4
Starting at the shorter end of the paper, fold the parchment with the meat several times into about 1 1/2-inch folds. Place the folded, filled parchment on a rimmed baking sheet.
- 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, draining off some of the accumulated fat and juices halfway through.
- 6
Unravel the meat from the paper and return it to the baking sheet. If you want more browning, return the unfolded meat to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- 7
Meanwhile, combine the remaining yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in the garlic and season with salt. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water if the sauce seems too thick.
- 8
Tear the meat into large pieces and serve on warm pita with parsley leaves, sliced onion, and tomato. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and hot sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
