Farmers Market Turkish Gyros

One of the many joys that Steve and I share is visiting our local farmers market early on Saturday morning. Upon walking up we can already smell the Turkish Gyro Stand. It is intoxicating to say the least! We make our way to his booth by following the wafts of aroma! They lead us right to him. What an explosion of flavor our mouths. A dance of sorts moves around as you taste the pickled red onions, the sweet heat & the curry! Ahhh, we are at last, happy. After many visits to the market, I finally felt confident to make one myslef at home. WOW ! Was I ever suprised. Mine tasted just like one at the farmers market. I literally danced in my seat as I ate mine all up. I looked over at Steve and he is just as happy! If you crave a new flavor.....try this. I promise it won't dissapoint you !
