easyWhy tonight. Leftover turkey and a cold yogurt sauce. Sauce the inside walls of the pocket first — it waterproofs the bread against everything else.
What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- pita
- turkey
- yogurt
- cucumber
- lettuce
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: dill.
Method
- Yogurt seasoned with lemon, salt and dill first, and used as a sauce rather than a condiment squeezed in at the end.
- Cucumber salted and drained, because yogurt plus wet cucumber is a leak waiting to happen.
- Sauce on the inside walls of the pocket first — it waterproofs the bread against everything else.
- Warm the pita, fill it shallow, and eat it standing up over a plate.

Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- pita
- A pocket or a plate depending on how you treat it.
- turkey
- Lean and huge, which is a bad combination for even cooking.
- yogurt
- Acid and creaminess together, which is why it works as a sauce with no cooking at all.
- cucumber
- Water and crunch, which is a real job in a rich dish.
- lettuce
- Structure and water, and it is worth being fussy about.
Missing one of them? The substitutions are written against those jobs rather than against a chart, so they say what each replacement costs this dish in particular.
