Gyro loaves are the Greek equivalent of meatloaf. They are typically made from very finely ground meat, garlic, onions, and herbs, sliced thinly and served with salad and/or pita bread. In this recipe, the loaf is formed into patties and used as a burger substitute. Find Gyro loaves in the frozen foods section of the grocery store.
4 ounces raw Gyro loaf meat, thawed and portioned into 2 2-ounce patties*
4 mini naan flatbread or pita, preferably whole grain
Olive oil, for grill and naan bread
2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
1 small bunch of fresh green leaf lettuce, washed and separated into pieces
*Can substitute cooked Gyro if raw is not available. Instead of cooking on the grill, warm until heated through.
