  • Break it apart:Let the rolls cool slightly, then unroll the parchment and break the meat into strips or pieces.
  • Crisp it up:Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top, spread the meat out on the baking sheet, and return it to the oven until lightly golden and crisp.
  • Make the garlic sauce:Stir together all ingredients for the garlic sauce.
  • Serve:Enjoy the doner in a pita or bowl with lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, jalapeños, and plenty of garlic sauce or garlic yogurt.
