Turkey Kofta Pitas
These pitas are stuffed with spiced ground turkey patties, a creamy tzatziki, and fresh vegetables. The kofta gets its flavor from cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and cooks quickly in a pan until browned. While the patties are on the stove, you can whisk together the Greek yogurt sauce with dill and lemon. Once everything is ready, load up warm pita pockets with hummus, tomato, and red onion. The whole thing comes together in about 45 minutes.

Form the Kofta Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the yellow onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, fresh parsley, egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Once mixed, shape the mixture into patties about 1 inch thick. They should hold together well.
