It is typically made by stacking slices of meat on a spit and cooking it slowly, then cutting small, thin pieces of meat off the spit to serve in a pita or other bread with vegetables and a sauce. This particular recipe is a healthier variation of the traditional Döner Kebab as it is cooked on a grill instead of a spit, making it less fatty and greasy. This meal is perfect for those who are looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that is packed with flavor and nutrients.
