For the tahini sauce

⅓ cup tahini
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp water
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp salt

For assembling

4 flatbreads or pita breads
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup english cucumber, thinly sliced
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.
2
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.
