Recipe Introduction


4 servings



List of Ingredients




1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 pita breads
lettuce, shredded
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup nonfat yogurt, drained
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 cucumber, seeded & chopped
2 tablespoons mint, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash black pepper
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt

Recipe



In a large bowl, combine the above ingredients up to and including the salt and pepper, and knead thoroughly. Mixture should be spicy but not too herby, and hold its shape. Break into 5 sections, each the size of a navel orange, then break each section into 6 balls. Knead and flatten slightly to a thickness of about 3/4 inch. Continue shaping the balls. Slip a skewer through the centers and roll gently with the palms to smooth the edges (you will need 5 or 6 skewers total, depending on their size). Cover and refrigerate overnight. To cook, set on a broiler tray or grill and cook over/under moderate heat, turning every 5 minutes. The surface will be crusty and the inside cooked within 25 minutes. To serve, arrange pita, meat, tomatoes, parsley and yogurt in separate dishes. Let guests open the bread or rolls and stuff them with meat and garnishings to their taste.
