I have done this as well. Smoked donair subs. Another good way is to make burger patties and BBQ them. Mmmm donair burgers.

Hmm donair burger sounds good. I wonder if there is some way to thicken the sweet sauce just a touch to keep it from running off

Looks delicious, though I prefer mine loaded with meat, provolone cheese, onions, banana peppers, both sweet sauce and tzatziki sauce

My version of tzatziki..

1 cup plain yogurt, or sour cream
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon dry dill weed
1 clove minced garlic
Mix well, adjust amounts to your taste,
Better if sits over night.

Also I find if the donair loaf is cooked and
refrigerated over night it slices easier.
Heat up slices on flat top or frying pan with a
few drops water, cover with a lid.

Let me know if you are interested in a fried bread recipe, its a cross between pita and naan bread, you make the size you require and the taste, freshness puts your donair over the top.

Just wanted to say that this recipe is also amazing in burger form! just make the recipe as normal and hold back a bit on the mashing and you end up with awesome burgers!

Made this last week with opa tatziki and it was amazing. Fed it to a bunch of people who could not stop eating. Extremely close to a opa gyro. I ate 3 like a starving man, thank God my wife was in the other room, tatziki and tomatoes all in my beard. Dangerous recipe...

Donair meat:

1 1/2 pound venison- I have only used deer so far I assume moose or elk would work and possibly be better.

1 pound med. or regular ground beef- this is to keep the fat content up, donairs are greasy food so this helps keep the wild meat from drying up.

2 tsp of the following: oregano, salt, flour, black pepper,garlic powder, onion powder,

1 tsp: paprika

1/2 tsp: cayenne pepper

Mix all spices together in a small bowl, set aside. Put ground venison in bowl mash with potato masher add beef and keep mashing. when all mixed up add 1/5 of seasoning mixture and mash, keep repeating till seasoning is gone. Mash with potato masher.........keep mashing.......and more mashing, don't mash less mash more this gives you the "donair" texture. Alright after 10 to 15 min of mashing time to get your hands dirty. Pick up the mashed meat and start throwing it from hand to hand, as if you had a base ball and where throwing it from hand to hand. then throw it as hard as you can in to the bowl you where mashing in. pick up repeat, pick up repeat. Don't be lazy. These steps are required because they give the donair meat the donair texture.

Set oven to 325f

Once beaten, thrown and repeated form a loaf with the meat, bread pans work good for forming. Line baking sheet with tin foil, place cooking rack on middle of baking sheeting and then place donair loaf on rack. The rack lets the grease drip away from loaf.

after every 1/2 hour the loaf need to be flipped. Total cooking time is 2 to 2 and half hours so the loaf may be needed to be fliped 4-5 times during the cooking phase.

He comes the hard part. after 2-2 1/2 hours the loaf should be done but it needs to kool completely before it can be cut properly.............
tried it two weeks ago great stuff

Donair time-decided to do a yield test and modify make-up and temps procedures a bit.

Added small amount of water to bloom starch and cook temp to 285F

Loaf weighed 41.5 oz in raw state.

How Ironic....

I've ate some of my buddies home made venison donairs a couple times & liked them. I tried another buddies & wasn't fan...

Well I asked the one friend for his recipe, & he said he'd get back to me.. I started to google, & this is the first one that popped up. I sent it to him to see what he thought... He laughed because this is the recipe he uses.

I just tossed a loaf in the oven. I followed the directions to a T. I did use the aid of a kitchen power beater to help get it mixed up well, then went to town beating the living hell out of the mixture with a new masher.... 17 mins total mix/mash time!

Fingers r crossed.

Oh rite, I used moose burger along with regular ground beef though.. not that it matters.

Thanks for sharing!
