Ingredients
- 2 lbs Turkey thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Ground cumin

- 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
- 1
Slice the turkey thighs into thin, long strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the dry spices to create the marinade.
- 3
Pour the marinade over the turkey strips, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
- 4
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is preferred for the deepest flavor penetration.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 6
Spread the turkey strips in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for browning.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the meat is cooked through.
- 8
Serve immediately inside warm pita bread with sliced onions, tomatoes, and a dollop of yogurt or tahini.
