- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the tahini sauce
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For assembling
- 4 flatbreads or pita breads
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and pourable — the sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to drizzle. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
