Warm Greek Pita Sandwiches With Turkey and
Soft pita bread stuffed with seasoned turkey, crisp veggies, and a cool cucumber-yogurt sauce. This Mediterranean-inspired wrap is light, flavorful, and perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, grated and squeezed as dry as possible 2 teaspoons red or rice wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large pitas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, peeled, halved and cut into chunky wedges
- 3 cups leftover roast turkey, pulled into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce (preferably romaine)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved and lightly salted
Directions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
- Place pitas in oven; bake until warm and pliable, 7 minutes. Cut in half. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Carefully add onion; saute until spotty brown but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add turkey, oregano and remaining minced garlic; continue to saute until heated through, another 2 minutes.
- Serve, letting guests fill their own pitas with lettuce first, followed by turkey, tomatoes and cucumber sauce.
