Turkey Meatballs in Pitas

1 pkg. fresh lean ground turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion (can use dried if desired)
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. each of parsley and lemon pepper (if you have)
1+ cloves of minced garlic (depending on your taste)
1 tsp. lemon juice (fresh best)

Combine turkey ingredients. Mix well. Shape into balls. Using a skilled coated with non-stick cooking spray, cook meatballs 8-10 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in center. Stir occassionally.

Sauce:
1/2 c. nonfat sour cream or plain yogurt
1/2 c. cucumber peeled and chopped
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice (again, fresh is best)
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Combine. Place 3-4 meatballs in each pita shell or tortilla wrap. Add lettuce and tomato. Top with sauce. I add extra of each spices/lemon juice because I like it full of flavor - you decide. 6 servings. Use "Light Flat Out" wraps for a low carb alternative to pitas. *I love this even in the winter time because it's refreshing and pretty light.
