In this video, I recreate the incredible doner kebab recipe I learned in Istanbul, adapting it for home cooking. Using layers of marinated veal and lamb (in a yogurt-onion marinade inspired by Istanbul), I create a meat “lasagna,” freeze it, and slice it thinly for grilling. Cooked over high heat, this method captures the authentic flavors of Turkish street kebabs. The result? A homemade doner kebab that tastes almost identical to the ones in Istanbul. It’s unbelievable—try it yourself!

  1. Salut my people 🙂 !
    A few tips if you want to recreate this döner meat at home :
    – Don’t fall for the miniature Kabab Spits available online, they suck. No heat, no browning, not enough volume, not enough meat, no power. Forget about it, it’s a gimmick for kids.
    – Get the saucepans here : https://salutcompany.com (ooo you got me, this is no a kebab tip)
    – Don’t use hot water to unmold the frozen meatloaf, cold water works just fine and on the long run it’s safer. You got some time, but don’t push it too far : so get the meat back in the freezer asap after slcing.
    – Warning when you’re cutting slices from the frozen loaf, it’s an expert move. Secure it in place with paper towel under it AND on top of it.
    – Don’t make them too thin, they would burn otherwise and get dry too quickly.
    – Instead of adding more lamb fat to the pan, use more (like a lot more) fat in the meatloaf ! That’s what I should have done.
    – If you’ve got a deli slicer, please use it ! ps : Also why do you have one ? pps : And also, why don’t I have one ?
    – I only cook the meat on one side to mimic what I witnessed in Istanbul.
    Love and happiness and kebabs

  2. You nailed it Alex!! I know it by just looking. It's a top quality homemade döner. As someone who loves döner as all other Turkish people, I also make it in home like how you do until freezing but I also mix it when cooking. However, I liked the idea of creating the crisp on one side and not touching the other side. I can imagine how tenderness can this bring. I'll definitely try this method too.
