• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• dried oregano (amount not specified)
• salt (a good pinch)
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp ground coriander (optional; use if available)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (mixed into the turkey)
• 2 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for flouring the work surface and dough)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt (for the pita dough)
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp water (for the pita dough)
• olive oil (a little for cooking the pitas and more to brush or drizzle over the baked kebabs; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (the source does not specify a pan position or whether to use convection).

2. 2

   Place the ground turkey in a large bowl. Add the grated garlic, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ginger, dried oregano, a good pinch of salt, black pepper, ground coriander if using, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

3. 3

   Mix the turkey mixture thoroughly until the seasonings and oil are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the turkey mixture in the center.

5. 5

   Cover the turkey with another sheet of parchment paper. Flatten it into a large rectangle about ½ inch thick.

6. 6

   Remove the top parchment. Use a spatula to score the flattened turkey into 6 to 8 sections, then make one line down the middle, creating kebab portions without separating them completely.

7. 7

   Bake the scored turkey at 425°F for about 15 minutes.

8. 8

   While the turkey bakes, combine the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt for the pita dough.

9. 9

   Add the Greek yogurt and mix until the dough looks shaggy.

10. 10

    Add 2 tablespoons of water and mix again until a softened ball of dough forms.

11. 11

    Flour the work surface and the dough. Knead the dough for about 1 minute by folding it edge to edge, pushing through the middle, and rotating it. Add more flour if it starts to feel sticky.

12. 12

    When the dough is smooth, cut it into 6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

13. 13

    Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a pita.

14. 14

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in a little olive oil.

15. 15

    Cook each pita in the skillet for about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

16. 16

    When the turkey kebabs come out of the oven, brush or drizzle them with a little olive oil.

17. 17

    Serve the kebabs in the homemade pita with chopped cucumber, diced tomato, and the quick white sauce.
