I don't post on here often but MAN have I learned tonnes...
Decided to make this for our weekly family supper on Sunday.
I decided to use my wife's kitchen aid with the dough hook attachment. On a med-high speed I slowly added the spice. I left the machine work for roughly 8-10 min until I noticed an obvious difference in the texture of the meat.
Cooked the night before then into the fridge till the next day.
None of us like the sweet sauce so I made a greek yogurt tzatziki that sat in the fridge overnight as well.
Needless to say...these were a HIT. I don't believe I have ever had a donair better than these in my entire life and that is saying alot because donairs are like crack to me!
This recipe will MOST CERTAINLY be made again.
A million thanks for the recipe!!!

I agree this is a great and simple recipe. I have made it several times now. Can
Be a little dry so be sure to use reg ground.
Better then you got from the donair shops that's for sure!

Made this a few times now. I tried a new method of cooking the meat this weekend with great results so I figured I would share my experiment below for anyone else that wants to try.
Rolling into a loaf and baking works well but my wife and I prefer the darker meat from the outside. So this weekend I experimented by rolling the meat very thin and flat in a large ziplock bag, then placing in the oven on a cooking rack laid inside a pan to catch the drippings but to let both sides get exposed to air to try and brown up. It comes out of the bag easily just cut down both sides and flip the bag onto the rack. Cooked for a few minutes at 300F then flipped over and cooked for another few minutes. When it's done you get a nice "sheet" of donair meat that is easily sliced hot out of the oven without having to cool down and reheat. My wife likes it a little crispy so I also pan fried a few strips for her. End result was the juiciest and most authentic tasting meat that I have made from this recipe, and the texture was very similar to an east coast donair meat texture.
The sauce flavor is bang on and I make it in the proportions as per the recipe.
For the meat portions, my ground venison comes in 2 lb tubes from my butcher, so I use a full 2lb tube, and 1.5lb of regular ground beef. I used 1.5 times the amount of spice in the recipe to account for the extra meat. I ran both my ground venison and ground beef through my grinder using the finest plate size 3 times to help with the texture and also by alternating ground venison with ground beef on the first pass, it helps to mix up the meat completely. By doing this it minimized the amount of hand work to do to get the donair texture.
All in all, a very authentic tasting recipe and a great treat for everyone. I'm originally from NS and this is as close as it gets.
Thanks ALBTUFF!

Two things. Naan bread. Just tear a little hole in the bag and throw it in the microwave for a minute and it's steamed like the ole donair shop. Also I have always run meat through the grinder 4 times getting smaller plate each time and works like a charm for mixing and getting texture. May have to add a bit from this recipe.

We must have worked at the same Halifax donair shop. I have been out west and enjoying these for 17 years now and have never had one as good.Minus the lettuce of course. Back then i never,not even once seen a donair made with lettuce on it. And that is also one of the ways i make my sauce. Thanks for sharing so all the others can enjoy a taste of what is right.

Thanks for the post. Sounds like a great idea for when all the fishing buddies are together at the lake. Cooked in advance and prepared as you need it. Perfect!

loaf prep.......................
I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just cook the meat in a lrg loafpan like meatloaf instead of on a rack for 2.5 hrs ? Meatloaf is done at 350 in 1.25 hrs and any grease can be dumped off at the 1/2 way point ? Also I make my moose burger with 30% bacon ground and mixed as opposed to reg ground beef. One way to find out I guess.............Harold

Did it tonight.
Amazing. I’m incredibly particular about where I eat donairs and I can easily say I don’t have to buy one again. This was a phenomenal recipe. Thank you!

After a 5 year drought I was lucky enough to fill my whitetail tag this year. As I looked through the scope all I could think of was venison donair. We made up a batch and picked up some pitas from Al Salam bakery. Absolutely delicious. By the way, we also use our kitchen aid mixer with the wire whisk to mix up softball size batches of meat - way easier than mixing by hand.

The recipe I've been using for a few years uses Italian spice instead of oregano but otherwise identical. Delicious donairs. One thing I've been doing for the last two or three years is making my own pita style bread in an effort to imitate the stuff they make at Pegasus Restaurant here in Calgary. I just mix up a big batch of Yorkshire pudding batter either from scratch or the little packets from the market. a little oil in a baking sheet and a 3 to 5 minute preheat at 450 or so. Pour a layer of batter into the preheated sheet and back in the oven for 15 to 20. Cut into thirds crosswise after it's baked. We prefer it to regular pita. If you're using the little packets, it takes about 3 for each baking sheet full.

Have to admit I was sceptical- used a mixer on the venison beef mixture. My wife had never tried a Donair and one of my three kids hadn't either. Now they know what a GREAT Donair should taste like. Kids each ate two each, wife tried a second but was full. Awesome recipe. Dad is king of his castle !

The mixer or potato masher works good to "densify" the meat. Another way I do it is to throw the meat forcefully into the bowl at least 20 times. Works well too and can take out some frustrations depending on the day!

For those who may stumble upon this epic post in years to come.
If you only want to use venison, add one egg per recipe batch (2.5 pounds) and one tablespoon of oil. Will help with moisture and binding and tastes excellent!
