Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 8 ounces Smoked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side or until soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap the pitas in foil and heat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.
Prepare the fillings: Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and shred the romaine lettuce.
Carefully cut each pita in half to form pockets. If the pita is too thin, cut along the edge to create an opening without tearing through the bread.
Spread a tablespoon of the yogurt sauce inside each pita half to coat the interior.
Stuff each pita pocket with a few slices of smoked turkey, followed by a mix of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
Drizzle additional yogurt sauce over the fillings, if desired.
Serve immediately while the pitas are warm. Enjoy your Smoked Turkey Stuffed Pitas!
