Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh mint or 1/4 teaspoon dried mint
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 medium cucumber, diced into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 cup diced)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tomato, diced or cut into small wedges
1/2 medium cucumber, halved and sliced
8 5-inch or 4 8-inch pita breads, warmed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 pound freshly ground turkey (a mix of breast and thigh meat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Step by step
To grind your turkey meat, attach the KitchenAid® Food Grinder attachment to your Stand Mixer and make sure the coarse plate is being used. Cut the chilled meat into strips and run it through the Food Grinder.
Preheat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes or until softened and fragrant. Add ground turkey along with oregano, rosemary, marjoram, salt, and pepper and cook until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring to break up any large chunks.
Meanwhile, to prepare tzatziki sauce, stir together yogurt, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, olive oil and mint in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, warm pita bread in the oven or microwave (wrap in a damp tea towel or paper towels to soften). Spoon filling down the center of pita. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, feta cheese, and a heaping spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
