Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 200 grams Turkey breast, deli-sliced
- 0.5 pieces Cucumber
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 pieces Red onion
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the sauce.
Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets. If not already open, carefully separate the insides to form pockets for stuffing.
Layer one lettuce leaf inside each pita pocket.
Stuff each pocket with a few slices of turkey, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, and some red onion slices.
Drizzle about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce into each pocket over the fillings.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment for packing as a meal on the go.
