    Ingredients

    • 1/2 lg. peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces of Cucumber
      2 tblsp. fresh chopped Cilantro
      8 oz. Non-fat plain yogurt
      1 lb. Ground turkey
      2 tblsp. grated Onion
      1 1/2 tsp. ground Cumin
      2 slices chopped Low-fat bread
      1 lg. whites of Egg
      1 1/4 tsp. Salt
      5- 6 inch Whole-wheat pitas
      4 cups thinly sliced Romaine lettuce

    Directions

    1. 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.
