Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber skin removed
  • 1/2 pound turkey breast tenderloin sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 2/3 cup light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons no-salt Greek seasoning blend
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 8 thin slices of fresh tomato
  • 4 whole pita pockets gently warmed
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Start by seasoning the sliced turkey breast with Greek seasoning, dill, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. If you're like me, you want every bite to be flavorful, so make sure the turkey is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes to maximize the flavor.
  • In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add your seasoned turkey slices. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. The turkey should be juicy but not rubbery. Shredding or pulling it apart can add an interesting texture.
  • While the turkey cooks, prepare your sauce. Combine the light sour cream, diced onion, and a pinch of dill in a bowl. This creamy relish is what takes the sandwich to the next level! Taste and adjust as needed—maybe you want more onion or some extra dill.
  • Slice the cucumber and tomatoes. Freshness here is key! The crunch of the cucumber combined with the sweetness of the tomatoes enhances the whole experience.
  • Take the pita pockets and warm them through. You can do this in the microwave for a few seconds or on a skillet. Warming the bread prevents tearing and helps hold everything together.
  • Now for the fun part. On the warm pita, layer the turkey first. Next, add the shredded romaine, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber. Be generous with the creamy sauce and finish it off with crumbled feta and parsley.
  • Finally, fold the pita around the filling. You want to secure your goodness tightly, so everything stays intact.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies elevate the entire dish. Always go for those that are in season.
  • Marinate for Flavor: Don't skip the marination step. It makes all the difference.
  • Mix Up the Seasoning: Feel free to experiment with spices. Add a bit of garlic powder or chili flakes for a kick.
  • Don’t Overfill the Pita: Keep in mind that less can be more. Overfilling can lead to a messy sandwich.
  • Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve it fresh. Though leftovers can be tasty, fresh is always best.
