Turkey-Meatball Pitas Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. 2. In large bowl, with hand, mix ground turkey, bread, onion, egg white, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons water. 3. Shape turkey mixture into 25 meatballs. (For easier shaping, use wet hands.) Place meatballs in jelly-roll pan and bake 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through (meatballs will not brown). 4. Cut about 1 inch from top of each pita; reserve cutoff pieces for use another day. Wrap pitas in foil. After meatballs have baked 5 minutes, warm pitas in oven until meatballs are done. 5. Meanwhile, mix cucumber, yogurt, cilantro or mint, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 6. To serve, fill pitas with lettuce and meatballs; top with cucumber sauce.
