These low-carb Gyro Meatballs taste just like the meat in a Gyro. This recipe is suitable for low-carb, ketogenic, Atkins, gluten-free, diabetic, and Banting diets.
Place ground meat, garlic, rosemary, oregano, cumin, marjoram, thyme, onion, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix or knead together. I find using clean hands, instead of a spoon, works best for this step.
Form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.
Heat a heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Melt butter or coconut oil in the pan.
Add meatballs, making sure they do not touch. If your pan is too small to cook all of the meatballs without touching, do this step in batches.
Brown meatballs on all sides then sprinkle lightly with salt. Turn heat to low to cook the meatballs throughout.
Remove meatballs from the pan to a plate with a paper towel.
