The local supermarket is having a sale on ground turkey, so I was looking for a recipe other than the turkey burgers that I always make when ground turkey is on sale. I came across a recipe from the August/September Cook's Country for Grilled Turkey Pitas with Cucumber Salad. Now I want to eat this so bad! It's making me crazy! I still get the annual, but not the magazines. Will someone take pity on me and shoot me the recipe? Pleeeease?

Sounds Good.

Grilled Turkey Pitas with Cucumber Salad
Adapted from Cook's Country August/September 2014

Ingredients

1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced thin
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons brine
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 scallions, white and green parts separated and sliced thin
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 (8-inch) pita breads, halved

Instructions

1. Combine cucumber, 1/4 cup feta, olives and brine, mayonnaise, and scallion greens in bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Knead turkey, oregano, remaining 3/4 cup feta, scallion whites, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in second bowl. Shape turkey mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) oval patties and press shallow divot in center of each.

2. Grill over medium-hot fire until burgers register 160 degrees, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Grill pita bread until warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Place 1 burger in each pita along with one-quarter of cucumber salad. Serve.

I thought I PM'd the entire recipe but it seems to be stuck in an outbox w/o showing up in "sent". I will try again.

PM did the same as the one I sent last night so I edited to include all the details of the recipe.

The status "outbox" means it really has been sent but hasn't been read by the recipient. It changes to "sent" once it's been read. Not the most intuitive but there you go.

Found it! Thanks. I guess I must've turned off my notifications so I didn't notice that I had messages. Thanks again and sorry for the brain-fart.
