  • Welcome to our kitchen, where today we'll be showing you how to make the ultimate Turkish döner kebab, both the traditional and the German-Turkish way! With our easy-to-follow instructions and simple ingredients, you'll be able to create this iconic dish right in your own home. 😍
    Jamie Oliver and ProHomeCooks, which I am a big fan of and always follow, prepared delicious doner kebabs on their CZcams channel.

    For Doner,
    1/2 kg ground beef (rib)
    2 tablespoons yoghurt
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 large onion, pureed
    10-12 springs fresh thyme, leaves picked
    1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
    1/2 tablespoon salt
    A pinch of black pepper
    1-2 tablespoons butter
    German Turkish way,
    2 döner breads, halved (Check the link for the recipe, • Turkish Buttered Pide ... )
    1 red onion, sliced into semicircles
    Half of a small lettuce, thinly sliced
    Half of a small red cabbage, thinly sliced
    1 carrot, grated
    2 pickled cucumbers, sliced
    Red Sauce
    2 tablespoon yoghurt or labneh
    1 tablespoon hot pepper paste
    A pinch of salt
    A pinch of black pepper
    A pinch of red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon vinegar
    1 teaspoon ginger puree
    White Sauce
    4 tablespoon yogurt or labneh
    2 tablespoon mayonnaise
    1 small cucumber, chopped
    3-4 sprigs of dill, chopped
    4 cloves of garlic, pureed
    1 teaspoon salt
    Çoban Salad (Shepherds Salad)
    1 tomato, diced
    1 small cucumber, diced
    1 thin green pepper, diced
    6-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped
    ½ of a lemon’s juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    Turkish way,
    2 döner breads, halved (Recipe: • Turkish Buttered Pide ... )
    3 pickled cucumbers, sliced
    2 tomatoes, sliced
    Potato fries
    Onion sumac salad
    1 onion, sliced into semicircles
    6-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped
    A teaspoon ground sumac
    2 tablespoon olive oil
    • To make the döner, mix all of the ingredients, except onion, in a bowl.
    • Sieve the onion juice on the mixture and knead until the mixture is homogenous.
    • Rest the mixture in the fridge for a day.
    • Wrap the mixture in a baking paper and squeeze from both ends to give it a log shape. Transfer to your freezer and let it freeze (You can keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months and use whenever you want.).
    • When it is time to cook, take out the frozen döner let it sit for 5 minutes.
    • Carefully, cut thin slices (as thin as you can). Don’t try to slice all the mixture at once, work in batches. You can prepare each portion at a time so you can cook the slices before they are thawed (you can deepfreeze the rest of the döner again for later. Don’t place it in the freezer if it is thawed).
    • Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
    • Place the doner slices on the hot pan and cook both sides until they are browned. Don’t try to flip before one side is cooked.
    • Cook rest of the slices with the rest of the butter.
    To make the German Turkish way döner sandwich,
    • For the red sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
    • For the white sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
    • Rub the red cabbage slices with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon vinegar and set aside.
    • For the çoban salad, mix all the ingredients and add salt to your taste.
    • To build the sandwich, spread the red sauce to the bottom half of the bread. Place cooked döner on the red sauce, çoban salad, red onion, red cabbage, pickled cucumber, lettuce and red cabbage. Put some white sauce, place the other half on top and gently press together. Prepare yourself for the festival in your mouth at the first bite!
    To make the Turkish way döner sandwich,
    • To make the onion sumac salad; rub the onions with a pinch of salt and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
    • Press the bread halves into the pan to let it soak all the buttery flavour.
    • Place the döner, onion sumac salad, pickled cucumber, tomatoes and fried potatoes (or have it as a side dish) and place the bread top . Enjoy your Turkish döner sandwich!

    Last time I made this, I had a really hard time getting proper slices from the frozen doner. So I thought about another technique : put the fresh meat preparation between two pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to make it as thin as you want it to be. Then freeze the meat with the paper. It then becomes super easy to cut strips from it, and you can even make long ones.

    Hi Refika! I made your kebabs today- ate them about 10 minutes ago. Ahhhh!!!They were absolutely delicious! I kind of did a mix of German and Turkish style on the toppings and two amazing things happened-
    1. I made onion the Turkish way- for the first time in my life I have just eaten a whole small raw onion!!!
    2. From your Adana kebabs...I tried preparing my bread in that butter water trick- again superb!! I had to use gluten free ciabatta rolls and your method made them lovely and juicy- perfect for the doner meat!
    Thank you so much for your inspiration xxxx

      Where have you been in Germany? As a German I have to agree that traditional German food is often bland. I remember that never had many spices except salt, pepper and maybe some bell pepper powder. Foreign restaurants often spice down their food to accommodate German taste, but it is getting better, especially in bigger cities. It often helps to order "original spicy, please".

    I made this!!! The Turkish way of course ❤️
    So delicious!! Thank you for a recipe to make this at home.
    I made a mild tzatziki sauce with lots of mint in it and the mint went so well with the super rich taste of the meat.
    Even though it was a little hard to find, sumac is a must! (I found it at my local Middle Eastern Mart). I’ve never used it before and it adds such and interesting and beautiful flavor.
    I didn’t make the bread, but found Lavash bread at my local grocery store and it was perfect.
    The butter is a must for cooking the meat do give it the richness. Oh, and when you take the meat out of the freezer, let it sit for 15 minutes before you try and slice it. So much easier that way.
    Again, thank you for a fun and delicious recipe. During these times when we’re staying close to home, not only are your videos a joy to watch, but your recipes are giving us something to really look forward to!
    Blessings from the beautiful coast of North Carolina USA

    You saved me in so many ways. I have always loved a real good Döner Kebab back in Germany. Then, I moved to Mexico and have lived here ever since. My husband stumbled over one of your videos (because he is a fan of Alex, the french guy) So, he showed me this video and the next day you had me in my kitchen preparing the minced meat. What can I say? The outcome was like angels singing over my shoulder. Just made another batch and keeping it in the freezer for whenever I need a good Doner Kebab. THANK YOU Refika! I love this channel

    • To make the döner, mix all of the ingredients, except onion, in a bowl.
    • Sieve the onion juice on the mixture and knead until the mixture is homogenous.
    • Rest the mixture in the fridge for a day.
    • Wrap the mixture in a baking paper and squeeze from both ends to give it a log shape. Transfer to your freezer and let it freeze (You can keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months and use whenever you want.).
    • When it is time to cook, take out the frozen döner let it sit for 5 minutes.
    • Carefully, cut thin slices (as thin as you can). Don’t try to slice all the mixture at once, work in batches. You can prepare each portion at a time so you can cook the slices before they are thawed (you can deepfreeze the rest of the döner again for later. Don’t place it in the freezer if it is thawed).
    • Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
    • Place the doner slices on the hot pan and cook both sides until they are browned. Don’t try to flip before one side is cooked.
    • Cook rest of the slices with the rest of the butter.
    To make the German Turkish way döner sandwich,
    • For the red sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
    • For the white sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
    • Rub the red cabbage slices with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon vinegar and set aside.
    • For the çoban salad, mix all the ingredients and add salt to your taste.
    • To build the sandwich, spread the red sauce to the bottom half of the bread. Place cooked döner on the red sauce, çoban salad, red onion, red cabbage, pickled cucumber, lettuce and red cabbage. Put some white sauce, place the other half on top and gently press together. Prepare yourself for the festival in your mouth at the first bite!
    To make the Turkish way döner sandwich,
    • To make the onion sumac salad; rub the onions with a pinch of salt and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
    • Press the bread halves into the pan to let it soak all the buttery flavour.
    • Place the döner, onion sumac salad, pickled cucumber, tomatoes and fried potatoes (or have it as a side dish) and place the bread top . Enjoy your Turkish döner sandwich!

      Simply make a regular white loaf to the first rise. Break off balls approx. 100g or 200g depending on preferred size
      Simply roll out to the size of a slipper and put in the oven at the highest heat possible
      Between 30s-60s and it should inflate. Remove and cut open one side, but beware of being burnt by the steam

    This was a revelation on 2 counts. 1 - Learning "Döner" means "To Turn", finally explaining "Gyro" to me, and 2 - just the whole mix, mold, freeze, slice, ground meats to cook to crispy perfection what usually has to sit and spin in front of the broilers. Yummy was right! Can't wait to try this myself.
