Turkey Pita Sandwiches With Hummus And Guacamole Recipes

MIDDLE EASTERN TURKEY PITAS

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.
• Brush the eggplant with the olive oil and oil the grill grates. Grill the eggplant until tender and well marked, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the turkey patties until marked and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• 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.

TURKEY PITAS WITH CUCUMBERS, CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together onion, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, cumin and sugar. Let sit for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together tahini, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, pinch of salt and 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water to thin the sauce. It should be thick but pourable. Taste, and add more salt and lemon juice, if needed.
• Into the bowl with onions, stir in chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes and oil. Taste, and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.
• In each pita half, layer turkey, then drizzle with tahini-lemon mixture. Add spoonfuls of chickpea salad, cilantro and mint. Drizzle liberally with more tahini sauce and zhug, if you like.

YUMMY AND NUTRITIOUS HUMMUS PITA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut off a small piece of the pita so you can reach inside. Sometimes I microwave the pita for a few seconds-it makes it more flexible to put things inside without breaking!
• With a spoon or knife, spread inside with hummus.
• Thinly slice cucumber and tomato and place inside, with red onion.
• If you are using avocado, mash it up with a knife and spread on inside top of pita-it makes it easier!
• Stuff the spinach in-it's easiest if you dice it first. Enjoy!
