The perfect ending to the holiday turkey is this Greek-inspired sandwich served in a warmed pita. It is filled with lettuce, tomatoes, and turkey, and topped with a homemade cucumber sauce. 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:
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
3. 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.
4. Serve, letting guests fill their own pitas with lettuce first, followed by turkey, tomatoes and cucumber sauce.
