Steps

1. 1

   Place the large onion and garlic cloves in a blender and chop finely.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef, a splash of olive oil, lemon juice, yogurt, salt, black pepper, Pul Biber, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of white pepper to the blender.

3. 3

   Blend everything thoroughly until a slightly paste-like meat mixture forms, similar to sausage meat.

4. 4

   Place the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper and spread it roughly over the surface. Cover with a second sheet of parchment paper.

5. 5

   Roll out the mixture between the two sheets of parchment paper until paper-thin. According to the source, the quantity is enough for four rolls.

8. 8

   Unroll the baked meat log and tear the meat into smaller pieces.

9. 9

   Optionally fry the meat pieces in a little oil to give them additional browning.

    Serve the döner meat with flatbread, sauce, onion, tomato, and parsley, and enjoy.
