Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon Jamie Geller Shawarma Spice
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds turkey thighs off the bone and cut into pieces
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 skewer
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 tablespoon Jamie Geller Sumac
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 laffa breads
  • French fries
  • Tahini
  • Israeli salad

Instructions

  • Prepare the turkey thighs by slicing into ½-1 inch thick pieces.
  • In a large bowl, mix together Jamie Geller Shawarma Spice, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the turkey thighs and mix. Set aside or cover and refrigerate to marinade.
  • For the sumac onion salad, in a separate bowl, mix the red onion with Jamie Geller Sumac, the apple cider vinegar and salt.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉ / 180℃.
  • To prepare the shawarma skewer, place half an onion (flat side down) on a baking sheet and press a skewer into it. Layer the pieces of turkey on the skewer. At this point, to prevent the shawarma from tipping over, you can use multiple skewers to add more support!
  • Bake for 1 hour. It's recommended to place some oven-proof dishes around the shawarma to prevent it from tipping over. But if it does tip, it's okay, because this is a fun experimental cooking technique!
  • Slice the shawarma once cool enough to handle and stuff the laffas with your favorite toppings!
