TURKEY PITA WITH CABBAGE, CUCUMBERS AND TAHINI DRESSING
This shawarma-like pulled turkey sandwich, using Thanksgiving leftovers, is a great alternative to the mayo-and-cranberry-sauce fallback. Or it can be made any time of year with roast turkey, chicken or lamb.

Steps:
- Put cabbage and carrot in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then toss with pomegranate molasses and 1/2 teaspoon garlic and set aside. Put cucumber in a separate bowl and season with salt and chopped mint.
- Make the tahini dressing: In a small bowl, stir together tahini, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic and cayenne. Whisk in yogurt and season with salt and pepper.
- Put olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and let sizzle. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 1 minute and turn off heat.
- Warm pitas briefly in a toaster oven and cut in half to make 8 pockets. Spoon some warm turkey into each pita, then a spoonful of cabbage, a bit of cucumber, some sliced radish, if using, and a large dollop of tahini dressing. Serve 2 filled pockets per person.
