Cooking Done Light

Okay, heat-wavers – here is today’s no cook meal – a healthier version of a classic Greek pita.

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1/2 cup cucumber, seeded and chopped

1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 pound precooked turkey breast, cubed (leftover or sold prepackaged at the supermarket; opt for low-sodium brands)

4 whole wheat gyro style pitas

2 small or one very large tomato, thinly sliced

1 small red onion, sliced

4 large pitted Greek olives, chopped (optional)

4 pepperoncinis, chopped (optional)

1 cup shredded Romaine lettuce or baby spinach

1/4 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled

In a small bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, and spices; stir in the turkey and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. When ready to serve, spoon turkey mixture evenly onto each pita; top with tomato, onion, olives, peppers, feta and lettuce. Fold each pita in half and serve.
