1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
2. Add ½ lb ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
3. Cook the turkey for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and no longer pink.
4. Tip: Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the filling from getting greasy.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, ½ tsp dried oregano, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
6. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup diced cucumber, ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
7. Tip: Let the cucumber and onion mixture sit for a few minutes to soften slightly and absorb the lemon flavor.
8. Warm 2 pita bread rounds in a toaster or oven at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until soft and pliable.
9. Slice each pita bread round open to form a pocket.
10. Divide the turkey and feta mixture evenly between the pita pockets.
11. Top each sandwich with the cucumber and onion mixture.
12. Tip: For extra freshness, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or mint before serving.
Crunchy cucumber and sharp red onion contrast beautifully with the savory, herbed turkey and creamy feta. The warm pita soaks up the lemony juices, making each bite a perfect mix of textures. Try serving it with a side of olives or a simple Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
