Step 5

Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.

Add Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh mint leaves, and squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the bowl with cucumber.

Once the turkey loaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 15

Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven or on a dry pan for a minute on each side.
