Mediterranean Turkey Pita

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit with the husband and the kids!
The original recipe is with Food.com




This is one of my kids' plates, they don't like lettuce or tomatoes in their wraps.
I made a few changes based on the ingredients I had in the house.

Ingredients:
Serves: 6
Yield:
Units: US | Metric

Meatballs

  • 1 1/4 lbs fresh lean ground turkey (1 package)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mint (I left this out)
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (be aware that most lemon pepper blends are salty, so add any additional salt sparingly)(left this out)
  • 1 garlic clove , minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup nonfat sour cream(used non fat greek yogurt instead)
  • 1/2 medium cucumber , peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 (6 inch) pita breads , cut in half crosswise (or flour tortillas)(used Lavash)
  • 6 lettuce leaves , torn into pieces
  • 1 medium tomato , chopped

Directions:


  1. Combine turkey meatball ingredients; mix well. Shape into 18 (1 1/4") balls.
  2. Using skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray, cook meatballs 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in center; stir occasionally.
  3. Combine sauce ingredients.
  4. Place 3 meatballs in each pita half. Add lettuce and tomato. Top with sauce.
  5. Alternatively, place filling in a flour tortilla, and fold burrito style for a wrap!
  6. Serves 6.
This recipe was definitely a keeper!
