  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 packages Flatout Foldit 5-Grain Flax Flatbreads or Light Italian Herb Wraps
  • Store-bought or homemade tzatziki sauce

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (except the cooking spray) and mix thoroughly with your hands. Cover the bowl and place it in your refrigerator for a couple of hours to allow flavors to blend.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Then line the pan with aluminum foil for easy meatloaf removal.
  • Remove the gyro meatloaf mixture from the refrigerator. Thoroughly knead the meat mixture once more. Then place the meat mixture into a meatloaf pan and pat down evenly.
  • Place the meatloaf pan on a cookie sheet or baking dish. Then bake the gyro meatloaf at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160° to 165° F on an instant-read meat thermometer.
  • Remove the gyro meatloaf pan from the oven. Then carefully remove the meat from the pan and allow it to cool for 20-25 minutes on a wire rack. Blot any grease with a paper towel.
  • Slice the gyro loaf as thinly as possible with a sharp knife.
  • After slicing, if the gyro meat is still pink, place the slices on a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 350 degrees F until completely cooked through. (Gyro meat should be brown.)
  • Serve gyro slices on Flatout Foldit Flatbread or Flatout Wraps with slices of onion, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Add tzatziki sauce and feta cheese. Serve with Kalamata olives and dolmades on the side.
  • Store any leftover meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
