TURKEY PITAS WITH CUCUMBERS, CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI



Turkey Pitas With Cucumbers, Chickpeas and Tahini image

These vibrant, crunchy, creamy turkey sandwiches have all the flavors of falafel, but without the frying. They've got a lemony tahini dressing, soft chickpeas, and a cumin-scented tomato and cucumber salad, all packed into pitas with leftover turkey (use dark or white meat). The pickled red onions give these a wonderful brightness, and they're well worth the 10 extra minutes they take to make.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: To save time, marinate the turkey and prepare the vegetables the day before. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of turkey and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey, don't overcrowd the pan or the turkey will steam instead of brown. Cook the turkey in batches if necessary.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and mint, will add a lot of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Adjust the spiciness: If you like spicy food, you can add more chili peppers or Sriracha sauce to the dressing. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers or use a mild chili powder.

Conclusion:

This Thai turkey salad pita is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the pitas add a nice touch of crunch. This salad is also easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own dietary preferences.
