37 min 4 servings 686 cal

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 4 cups chopped romaine or leaf lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 cup tzatziki (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 oz pita chips (about 3–4 cups, depending on size)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta (optional, for topping)
  • 4 pita breads (or 4 large flatbreads)

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the onion; cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Stir in oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and parsley. Cook 1–2 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave (about 15–30 seconds) until pliable.
  5. Assemble each wrap: spread 2–3 tbsp tzatziki in the pita, add a scoop of turkey filling, then layer lettuce and diced tomato. Sprinkle feta if using.
  6. Add a handful of pita chips on top right before eating (or keep chips on the side for maximum crunch). Fold and serve. Repeat for all 4 servings.

Cooking tips

- Use a nonstick skillet and spread the turkey into a thin layer so it browns instead of steams. - If your tzatziki seems watery, drain the grated cucumber in a paper towel for 5–10 minutes before mixing. - Warm pita chips briefly (or toast them) to keep a crunchy texture once assembled. - Slice the turkey gyro filling against the grain if it’s slightly firm—this improves tenderness in wraps.
