Turkish-Style Lamb Pita

Ingredients

• 1½ lb lamb leg steaks
• 2 tsp Turkish seasoning blend
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ bunch fresh mint
• 1¼ cup plain yogurt
• 4 pita bread
• ½ head iceberg lettuce
• 1 red onion
• 1 lemon (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat grill to high. Season lamb leg steaks with Turkish seasoning.
2. Grill lamb for 2 minutes per side until browned but still rare.
3. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup yogurt with oregano and half of the chopped fresh mint. Smother this mixture over the grilled lamb.
4. Return lamb to the grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the yogurt is blistered and the lamb is cooked to your preference.
5. While lamb rests, toast pita bread. Shred lettuce and thinly slice the red onion.
6. Stir the remaining chopped mint into the remaining 3/4 cup plain yogurt to create a mint yogurt sauce.
7. Thickly slice the lamb and stuff into pita bread with shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, and a generous dollop of mint yogurt sauce.
8. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving, if desired.
