Dinner in 25 minutes: Doable weeknight gyros
According to the folks at Cooking Light magazine, the classic Greek pita sandwich can cost you at least 510 calories and 1,120 milligrams of sodium. Their makeover version cuts those totals considerably while still delivering familiar flavors.
The original recipe recommends cooking the meat under the broiler; we found it stays more tender with a pan-sear/oven time approach. We also tested this with 12 ounces of ground dark-meat turkey plus 1 tablespoon of olive oil (instead of the ground lamb-beef combo) and liked the results.
Serve with oven-baked sweet potato fries.
