Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey breast
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Low sodium pita bread
• 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce, shredded

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine ground turkey, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, cumin, paprika, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients well until everything is evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into long, thin kebab shapes.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and have a nice caramelized exterior.

Step 4

While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the plain Greek yogurt with the chopped fresh dill in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Warm the low sodium pita bread pieces in a dry skillet or in an oven for a few minutes until just softened and heated through.

Step 6

Fill each piece of pita bread with two turkey kebabs, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion slices, shredded iceberg lettuce, and a spoonful of dill yogurt sauce.

Step 7

Serve the kebab sandwiches immediately for the best flavor and texture.
