Turkey doner kebab

Step 1

First, brine the turkey. Put the garlic, lemon juice, salt and thyme into a large bowl and add the turkey thighs. Mix to combine, then pour over just enough water to cover. Leave for half an hour or up to an hour if possible. Drain.

Step 2

Mix all the rub ingredients together with the reserved lemon zest and just enough oil to make a paste, then massage into the turkey. Leave for another hour to marinade.

Step 3

Layer the turkey up with the schmaltz to help it stick together and keep it moist while cooking, then skewer onto the doner kebab spit, pressing the meat together as you go. Cook, slicing off the outer layer as it cooks until you get to the centre. The whole process will take between 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours. Serve with coleslaw in warmed pittas.
