Recipe Time: Crockpot Gyros

I made this yesterday night for the family. It had mixed reviews....1/2 the family gobbled it up and begged for more, 1/4 of the family thought it was good, but for the money spent on some of the ingrediants (since they weren't on sale) didn't see the savings of making it at home and the other 1/4 of the family wouldn't touch it - LOL. I do recommend you try it at least once though if you love gyro's like we do!!



Crockpot Gyros

1 lb ground veal
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp kosher salt

1 lemon (OR 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice)
Pita or Flat bread Rounds
Feta Cheese
