Instructions
PREPARE THE DONER MEAT
Add the ground turkey and pork to a large bowl and mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon.
Add all the spices and seasoning and mix really well so that the spices are well distributed.
Place two pieces of foil on your counter top. Add the meat and shape into a meatloaf shape. Wrap really tightly with two layers of foil.
AIR FRY
Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-30 minutes at 160°C (325°F), flipping over halfway through.
Carefully unwrap the doner meat and cook, uncovered, for a further 10-15 minutes at 180°C (360°F), turning over so the meat browns evenly on all sides. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of your doner meat is 75°C (167°F).
SLICE THE DONER MEAT
Rest the meat, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes or a bit longer so it becomes firmer and easier to slice. Use a sharp knife to slice the doner into thin strips or use a large peeler to create really thin strips (this works best if the meat is cold).
SERVE AND ENJOY
IN A DONER KEBAB WRAP
AS A KEBAB SALAD
You can serve the meat in a salad bowl packed with sliced lettuce, thinly sliced cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, tzatziki or yogurt and pita bread triangles.
AS A WRAP
I love using very thin strips of doner meat piled high on flatbread or pita bread with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, garlicky tzatziki, mayonnaise and sriracha sauce.

Notes
SLIMMING DONER KEBAB Use a wholemeal wrap (one WW wrap is allowed as a healthy extra but if not used as a HE it is 6 syns) and serve with sliced onions, lettuce, tomatoes and low fat mayo / salad cream / hot sauce. Or serve as a salad bowl packing in loads of veggies and skipping the wrap.SAUCE IT UP! I have to say that I am partial to almost all the sauces in my kebabs. I love mixing sour cream with yellow mustard and ketchup and adding a drizzle of Sriracha for good measure!
