Instructions

1. Wash and dry produce. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Halve tomatoes. Halve, peel and finely chop onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
2. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, 2 TBSP onion (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and vinaigrette. Toss to coat.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add turkey*, Turkish Spice Blend, garlic and half the soy sauce (all for 4 servings). Cook, breaking meat up into pieces, until turkey is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. TIP: Stir in a splash of water near the end of cooking to make sure your turkey is nice and saucy!
4. Divide lettuce between plates. Fill with turkey and salad. Spoon any remaining vinaigrette from bowl over top. Garnish wraps with feta and serve.
