Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 small onion (3/4 thinly sliced, 1/4 minced)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
4 pitas, tops trimmed
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
3/4 cup olive hummus
Vegetable chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Combine the turkey, minced onion, garlic, coriander, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Form into four 4-inch-square patties. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • Meanwhile, spread the eggplant on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and set aside 10 minutes, then pat dry.

  • Fill the pitas with the lettuce, a few eggplant slices, a turkey patty and the sliced onion. Thin the hummus with 3 tablespoons water, then spoon into the pitas. Serve with vegetable chips.
