Ingredients

• 500 grams ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 whole wheat pita breads
• 150 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 small cucumber, grated
• 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
• 2 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, chopped red onion, ground cumin, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Shape the turkey mixture into small patties or logs, about 8-10 depending on preferred size.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the turkey patties in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and chopped dill. Stir until well integrated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Warm the whole wheat pita breads in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 3-5 minutes or until soft and pliable.

Step 6

On a serving platter, arrange the turkey patties, warm pita breads, sliced tomatoes, lettuce leaves, and tzatziki sauce. Allow everyone to build their own gyro platter as desired, filling the pita with turkey, fresh veggies, and a dollop of sauce.

Step 7

Enjoy your low-fat, delicious and authentic Greek gyro platter!
