Welcome to 30 Days on a Mediterranean Diet, our new blog series! It’s no secret that eating the Mediterranean way helps with heart health and weight loss. But fast-paced modern living makes it hard to stick to any diet, which is why each 30 Days on a Mediterranean Diet post will feature a healthy Mediterranean recipe.
Did someone say turkey and hummus? Oh, yes. This recipe calls for you to mix ground turkey with hummus, herbs and spices to create one magnificent Mediterranean patty. Even if you’re not crazy about turkey as a protein choice, the fresh cucumber mixture, tangy melted feta, and (let’s face it, adorable) pita ‘buns’ are sure to win you over.
A little tip: Try broiling the patties in the oven instead of pan-frying them in olive oil for a leaner, healthier cook.
Ingredients
1 English cucumber, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried mint
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup hummus, preferably spicy or roasted red pepper (about a 7-ounce container)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons ground coriander
16 mini pita pockets, preferably whole wheat, split open and warmed
2 to 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
