How to Make Low Carb Greek Gyros:

Step 1: Check spices for freshness

The above pic shows the seasonings you will use to get authentic gyros flavor. Tip:  check the dates on your herbs and spices- the fresher they are the better.

Step 2: Combine meat mixture in food processor

The pic above shows the meats and seasonings in the food processor ready to begin mixing.

Here is the meat and seasoning mixture after 2 minutes in the food processor. This step is important because it helps to distribute the fat and seasonings throughout the meat.

Step 3: Shape meatballs and bake

The gyros meatballs ready for baking. I used a small cookie dough scoop to make uniformly sized meatballs and placed them on a rack to allow fat to drip away. Shaping the meat into small meatballs speeds up the cooking time. Prep your tzatziki sauce while the meatballs cook. This gyros meal can definitely be made ahead and served later. I tried this and it worked great!
