Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground turkey
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 medium Lemon
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 head Lettuce
- 2 medium Tomato
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Peel and finely grate the onion and garlic cloves into a large mixing bowl.
Add the lean ground turkey to the bowl with grated onion and garlic.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to the meat mixture.
Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spray the loaf lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking and to support browning.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by peeling and grating the cucumber.
Squeeze out any excess water from the grated cucumber and place it into a small bowl.
Add Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh mint leaves, and squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the bowl with cucumber.
Mix well to combine, and season with a pinch of salt as per taste.
Once the turkey loaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the cooked turkey loaf using a sharp knife.
Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven or on a dry pan for a minute on each side.
Assemble the kebabs by slicing the lettuce and tomatoes.
Place a few slices of turkey in each pita bread, followed by some lettuce, tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of yogurt sauce.
Serve immediately as a delicious, low-fat doner kebab.
