Turkey Gyros

By: Donna Garvin 
"Greek seasoning, feta cheese and dill-cucumber sauce make this gyro taste deliciously authentic. 'This was my family's introduction to how really good pita bread can be,' relates Donna Garvin of Glens Falls, New York. 'instead of feta cheese, they sometimes prefer cheddar of Monterey Jack.'"
