First of all I would like to correct one of your reviews, from Indianapolis. She stated that she would have given you 5 stars had it not been for your spelling of Gyros. The is called GRYO MEAT not sandwich. So I believe you should think about it and retract your statement. It is unfair to Alton's recipe. However I do believe that your correct on the name GYROS over GYRO. This by far the best I have ever made and eaten. My Cousin who owns a Greek Restaurant uses a very similar recipe.

I was concerned about trying gyros at home because both the taste and the texture need to be right. This recipe was spot on. The lamb tasted like I had bought it at the local Greek deli. The only change I made in the recipe was the yogurt, and I did purchase Greek yogurt rather than waiting on the regular yogurt to thicken. This is definitely worth a try!

OMG I was worried that I didn't have the food processer. Over worked the meat by hand. Let the meat sit for over 6 hours. Cooked it in the oven....IT WAS WONDERFUL! Did add a little extra spice and some different ones but it tastes and smell just like the Greek restaurants!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hubby will never take me for another Gyro at the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs Fl ( a small greek fishing village! Thanks Alton!

This was awesome, a really good recipe when you dont want or cant go out for gyros. I had to work the meat in batches also, but my food processor is also somewhat small. I also used shallots instead of onion only because I was out of onion. The Tzastiki sauce is also really yummy and I hate the taste of cucumbers. Thanks again for an awesome recipe.

I was a little worried about putting a loaf on the rotisserie, so I placed in my rotisserie basket. It turned out great, I did have to cook it a little over an hour to get the temp right. We will have this again.

I was a little dubious of the meatloaf method and thought the meat wouldn't come out very well, but it had the perfect texture and the flavor was wonderfull.

Worth the effort! Will do it again! Our rotisserie gave out and it fell off into the pan catching the drippings. We simply cut it in half, evenly, and completed cooking to appropriate temp. Then sliced thinly and served. The sauce was wonderful. We did use a very good quality Greek yogurt and had our lamb ground fresh. Wonderful! Our teenager devoured leftovers after school the next day.

I made this with ground turkey & fresh herbs, & having no rotisserie, I baked it in the oven with a second loaf pan on top, 3/4 filled with water. It came out PERFECT! moist & yummy yet still dense enough to slice beautifully.
