- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion red, chopped
- 20 oz ground turkey 93% lean
- salt to taste
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp chicken broth low-sodium
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp thyme dried|ground
- 1/2 tsp Coriander dried|ground
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
For serving
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1/2 cucumber diced, English variety

- 2 cups romaine lettuce shredded
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add in red onion and saute 2 minutes then add turkey, season with salt to taste and cook, breaking up and stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through.
- Then add garlic and continue to cook until turkey is cooked through. Stir in tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, thyme and coriander. Season with salt to taste.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until sauce has reduced, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice. Serve warm over tortillas with toppings listed.
Notes
- For the tzatziki:1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped into chunks1 tsp salt, plus more to taste1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I recommend Fage 2%, it's thick)1 clove garlic, minced1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Directions:Place diced cucumber in a mesh strainer or colander and sprinkle with salt, toss to evenly coat then allow to rest 20 minutes at room temperature.Rinse cucumbers and place over several layers of paper towels. Squeeze some of the liquid from cucumbers (almost as if wringing moisture from a cloth). Place cucumbers in food processor and pulse to chop fine. Dab cucumbers with a paper towel to soak up more moisture, then add in Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, and dill and season with salt to taste. Plus to blend. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container up to 3 days.
