Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g lean ground turkey
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 whole wheat pita breads
- 200 g light Greek yogurt
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 large tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, chopped onion, chopped garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey mixture to the skillet and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through.
While the turkey is cooking, prepare the Tzatziki sauce: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, mix the grated cucumber with light Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill.
Warm the whole wheat pitas in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Slice the tomato and wash the lettuce leaves.
To assemble the wraps: Lay a warmed pita on a plate and spread a tablespoon of Tzatziki sauce over it. Place a lettuce leaf on the pita, add a generous scoop of the turkey mixture, and top with sliced tomato.
Fold the pita over the filling to form a wrap and serve immediately with additional Tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
