Turkish cuisine is one of our favorites as it allows crafting easy meatless meals. The gyro sandwich recipe is a perfect example. We used similar components of the classic gyro sandwich and created a plant-based option using Pure Farmland Italian Style Plant-Based Meatballs. This Turkish-inspired recipe includes a fresh cucumber tomato salsa with olive oil and preserved lemons, field greens, and tahini dressing.
This meatless meal is yummy and easy to prepare. Get creative and use your flavor twist. The plant-based meatballs are versatile and allow so many flavor combinations. You can make a gyro sandwich, a sub, or serve the meatballs over pasta, chili, soups, and make even make meatless appetizers too!

Street food is popular worldwide and is part of the culinary heritage in many countries. Same as gyros, kebabs, pizza, or yakitori in other parts of the world. Tacos in Mexico are part of the culinary fabric and street food staples.
Some historians say the gyro sandwich started in Greece inspired by the Turkish döner kebabs and the middle-eastern swarma. However, in 1970 food historians mention the gyro sandwich is a recent creation born in the streets of New York.
Whether a recent food creation or not gyro sandwiches are delicious and can adapt based on one’s tastebuds, and our plant-based meatballs gyro sandwich is an excellent example of adapting a classic using vegetarian protein.
Tips on how to make the best Turkish inspired Plant-Based Meatballs Gyro Sandwich.
- Head over to Publix and purchase all the ingredients, including the Pure Farmland Italian Style Plant-Based Meatballs.
- Cook the meatballs in the oven following the instructions in the package. We opted for adding a little bit of Italian spice rub and olive oil.
- Choose the correct flatbread. The ideal one is not too small and not too large. Those with buttery flavor are our favorites.
- Use homemade preserved lemons. These lemons add tasty citrus and salty note, plus aroma. This ingredient is optional; however, it adds a surprisingly delicious flavor.
- The cucumbers chosen are those seedless. Do not need to peel.
- The tomatoes must be ripe and juicy. And the purple onions finely chopped.
- Use fresh parsley, preferably hand-cut, not chopped.
- Olive oil, thyme, oregano, and lemon juice are all staples of Mediterranean cuisine. Use these ingredients to season the cucumber salsa.
- The field greens are a tender baby leaf mix.
- And the final touch is a tahini dressing for a nutty note.
