Ingredients

500g 7% fat turkey mince
100g feta, crumbled
2 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
finely chopped to make 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cucumber, halved and deseeded
160g thick greek-style yogurt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
finely chopped to make 2 tbsp mint leaves
320g cherry tomatoes, quartered
½ red onion, thinly sliced
4 wholemeal pittas

Method

STEP 1
Soak eight wooden skewers in warm water for 15 minutes. Mix the mince, feta, spring onions, lemon zest and parsley in a large bowl. Season and use wet hands to shape the mixture around the skewers. Drizzle with the oil.
STEP 2
Put a griddle pan on a medium heat, or heat the grill to medium and, once hot, cook the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, coarsely grate the cucumber. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out any excess liquid into the sink. Mix the cucumber with the yogurt, garlic, mint and half the lemon juice in a bowl, and season. Combine the tomatoes with the red onion and remaining lemon juice, and season.
STEP 4
Warm the pittas following pack instructions, then halve and serve with the kebabs, tzatziki, and tomato and onion salad.
