Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 slice low-fat bread; chopped
2 tablespoon grated onion
1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
5 whole-wheat pitas
1/2 large cucumber; peeled and cut into 3/4-i
8 oz plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or 1-teaspoo; n dried mint leaves
4 cup romaine lettuce; thinly sliced
Cooking Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, with hand, mix ground turkey, bread, onion, egg white, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons water.
3. Shape turkey mixture into 25 meatballs. (For easier shaping, use wet hands.) Place meatballs in jelly-roll pan and bake 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through (meatballs will not brown).
4. Cut about 1 inch from top of each pita; reserve cutoff pieces for use another day. Wrap pitas in foil. After meatballs have baked 5 minutes, warm pitas in oven until meatballs are done.
5. Meanwhile, mix cucumber, yogurt, cilantro or mint, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
6. To serve, fill pitas with lettuce and meatballs; top with cucumber sauce.
