Spicy Po Boy Gyros

Okay, I know this picture is not the best one I've ever posted on this blog and for that reason I have held off posting about this recipe. However, as I was looking through my files today I saw this picture and I couldn't believe I hadn't posted about these yet. I am craving these po boy gyros SO bad for lunch I can hardly stand it! This meatball wrap, or sub of sorts was totally amazing. The meatballs were a little spicy, heavy on the paprika, smoky flavor and went perfectly with the cool horseradish sauce. Add some fresh tomatoes and lettuce and you have a wrap (or gyros) that will satisfy anyone's cravings. I used the Costco flat bread pitas (which I love!) and the soft shell was a great combination to these wraps. You could also serve these meatballs on a sub roll or even a tortilla.  If you need a new meal that is full of flavor and easy to throw together, give these gyros a try!

Spicy Po Boy Gyros
1 lb. sausage
1 lb. ground turkey or beef
1 egg
1 T. dijon mustard
1 1/2 t. paprika (I liked smoked paprika)
1 1/4 t. thyme
3/4 t. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 t. salt
3/4 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. black pepper
In a bowl, combine the sausage, turkey (or beef), egg, mustard, paprika, thyme, cayene, salt, garlic and black pepper. Mix together until everything is incorporated. Get a frying pan to medium heat and drizzle with a little olive oil. Make the meatball mixture into golf ball sized meatballs and place in the pan. Cook on both sides of the meatball until they are nicely browned on both sides. Place a lid on the pan and let them cook for another 15-17 minutes, or until the center of the meatballs are no longer pink.

Sauce:
1/2 c. mayo
1/4 c. sour cream
2 T. Dijon mustard
3 pickles, diced fine
1 t. horseradish
Salt and pepper to taste
While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce by placing all of the ingredients into a small bowl. Slice the tomatoes and tear off pieces of lettuce. When the meatballs are done, place them inside a hoagie bun or pita, place some tomatoes and lettuce pieces in the wrap and drizzle with lots of the sauce. Serve warm.
