Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 large egg yolk
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• A few grinds black pepper
• 1 red onion
• 4 pitas with pockets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• One 16-ounce package store-bought tzatziki
• 1/2 head Boston lettuce
• 1/2 medium seedless cucumber, chopped
• One 4-ounce package crumbled feta (about 3/4 cup)
• Potato chips, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

2. Place the turkey, egg yolk, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Grate half the red onion and add it to the bowl. Mix with your hands, then form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place on a sheet pan or plate lined with parchment paper.

3. Put the pitas on a baking sheet and place in the oven to warm.

4. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or other nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook until they are brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center, approximately 5 minutes on each side.

5. Remove the pitas from the oven and cut the tops off. Slice the remaining 1/2 red onion. Spread some tzatziki inside each pita. Fill each with lettuce, a patty, some chopped cucumber, red onion and feta, then serve with chips on the side.
