Greek seasoning, feta cheese and dill-cucumber sauce give this gyro an authentic taste. It was my family's introduction to how really good pita bread can be. Instead of feta cheese, we'll sprinkle on cheddar or Monterey Jack if we have it. &mdash;Donna Garvin, Glens Falls, New York

If you are looking for "authentic" gyro, this may disappoint. If you are looking for gyro flavors in a quick and healthy recipe, this is a keeper! I have two die-hard gyro fans in my house that were very skeptical about the use of turkey and sour cream in the recipe, but both gave this a thumbs up. I will definitely make again!I could not find salt free Greek seasoning, so just used regular Greek seasoning. The turkey tenderloins were only sold in 2 lb packages, so I subbed turkey breast cutlets, and cut the cooking time a bit. We also preferred more meat for 4 people than the 1/2 lb listed in recipe. I used about 3/4 lb per pound, and would use 3/4 - 1lb next time.

I really like gyros and this was a good recipe.  I couldn't find Greek seasoning, so I used  a savory seasoning.  I also had  a hard time finding turkey tenderloin, so I used cooked turkey breast.  It was still very good and I loved the cucumber sauce.

This was really good.  I subbed in Greek yogurt for the sour cream, and the tzatziki sauce was awesome.  While turkey may not be authentic, it was good and light. I followed the spices recipe but used more spices than the recipe calls for and also salt and pepper on the turkey.  I cooked two pounds of turkey so there is enough for leftovers.  When I make it again, I would probably add fresh mint as a topping.
