Instructions

1. Drain the marinated dried tomatoes and set aside.
2. Cut the turkey meat into thin strips. Cut the vegetable onions and red pepper into strips, the spring onions into rings, the pickled peppers into rings, and the drained dried tomatoes into cubes. Combine the turkey strips with the gyros spice mixture and olive oil (or use the oil and marinade from the drained tomatoes). Refrigerate until ready to cook.
3. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the turkey with its marinade for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the prepared vegetables and fry for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a baking dish.
4. Pour the canned tomatoes with their sauce and the cream over the turkey and vegetables in the baking dish. Stir in the Metaxa (optional if children are eating) and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and sugar to taste.
5. Spread the feta cheese evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C / 392°F (or 180°C / 356°F for convection) for 30 minutes until the cheese is golden and the casserole is heated through.
6. Serve with flatbread, tzatziki, coleslaw, sliced tomatoes, and cucumbers.
