Ingredients
-
1 lb. ground chicken (ground turkey works well also)
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 clove garlic, grated
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Mix above ingredients and shape into a 3 inch log. Place on a baking sheet prepared with non stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2 inch slices.
Tzasiki sauce
8 Tbsp. low fat sour cream
1/4 small cucumber peeled, finely chopped or grated
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 tsp. cumin
Juice of 1/4 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix together all Tzasiki sauce ingredients.
4 whole wheat pita bread
1 red onion sliced
1 tomato sliced or chopped
3/4 cucumber, sliced
8 lettuce leaves
8 Tbsp. crumbled low fat feta cheese
Warm pita and cut in half. I use Trader Joe's whole wheat pitas (100 calories for 1 whole pita). Divide meat slices into
4 portions and place into pita halves. Place 1 tbsp. of Tzasiki sauce on each half. Garnish sandwiches with feta cheese, onions, lettuce, cucumber and tomato.
