Turkey gyros with tzatziki and potatoes

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 400 g turkey breast
• 1 onion(s)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 9 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp sweet paprika powder
• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp oregano, dried
• 1 tbsp marjoram, dried
• 1 sprig(s) of thyme
• 300 g yogurt (Greek cream yogurt)
• ¼ cucumber(s)
• 500 g potatoes
• 1 sprig(s) rosemary, stripped needles
• 1 red bell pepper(s)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Cut the turkey breast into thin strips and the onion into thin half rings. Finely dice one garlic clove or press it through a garlic press. Mix 5 tablespoons of olive oil with the garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, a little salt and pepper, oregano, marjoram, and thyme, and marinate the meat and onions for at least 2 hours. You can, of course, use fresh herbs instead of the dried herbs. Peel the cucumber, halve it, and scrape out the seeds. Then slice the cucumber very thinly, sprinkle with salt, and let stand for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate (or press) the second garlic clove into a paste and stir it into the yogurt. Lightly squeeze the cucumbers and add them to the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper. I recommend making the tzatziki immediately after marinating the meat so it can marinate a bit. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters or eighths, depending on their size. Mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt, pepper, and the rosemary sprigs, then add the potatoes and toss to coat them all over with oil. Bake the potatoes in a roasting pan in the oven at 180°C (top and bottom heat) for about 45 minutes, until cooked through, turning once or twice. Heat a large, dry frying pan over high heat and cook the turkey and marinade, stirring frequently. This should be done quickly, as otherwise the meat could dry out. When the meat is cooked through, add the bell pepper, cut into thin strips, and cook briefly. Serve the gyros with the potatoes and tzatziki. A fresh salad would also go well with it.
