Ingredients

Turkey breast170 g
Cut into 3 cm cubes. Smaller pieces dry out before they colour. Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.
Olive oil1 tsp (5 g)
Lemon juiceJuice of half a lemon
Garlic2 cloves, about 6 g
Dried oreganoTwo teaspoons
Wholemeal pitta1 pitta, about 60 g
Tzatziki50 g
Tomato80 g
Cucumber60 g
Red onion30 g
Fresh parsleyA handful, chopped
SaltTo taste

Method

Mix the oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, oregano and salt in a bowl, add the turkey and leave it for thirty minutes. Soak two wooden skewers in water at the same time.
Thread the turkey onto the skewers and grill under the highest heat for ten to twelve minutes, turning twice, until the edges are charred and a piece cut through shows no pink.
Warm the pitta under the grill for the last minute. Slice the tomato and cucumber and the onion very thinly.
Split the pitta and fill it with the salad, the turkey slid off the skewers, the tzatziki and the parsley.

Worth knowing

Turkey breast has less fat than chicken thigh and will go dry if it sits under the grill a minute too long. Pull it as soon as the centre is white.
The tzatziki is bought. Fifty grams is a generous spoonful and costs about 50 kcal; the same weight of 0% Greek yogurt with grated cucumber is around half that.
