lamb gyro meatballs
Use a medium-size ice cream scoop and then roll the lamb meatballs to almost 3" in size, as they will shrink on the grill.
All these ingredients for this gyro meat recipe are easily available at your local grocery store. You can swap in some ground beef or ground pork in place of lamb, or do a blended mix. I made this recipe for young adults, and they absolutely loved the traditional way with lamb.
Greek yogurt
You can swap in sour cream or plain yogurt, but it really makes a difference to use real Greek yogurt.
ground lamb
To make your own ground lamb at home, slice the lamb meat into 1-inch cubes, and remove all bone and excess fat. Freeze the meat for 30 minutes. This helps "grind" it in a food processor or in a meat grinder.
