Turkey Shawarma

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Turkey breast or thigh meat, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
• 0.25 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread for serving(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the dry spices until well combined.

2. 2

   Add the thinly sliced turkey to the marinade, tossing thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.

3. 3

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though 4 hours is preferred for deeper flavor penetration.

4. 4

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Spread the turkey slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they aren't too crowded to allow for browning.

6. 6

   Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the turkey is cooked through.

7. 7

   For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving in warm pitas with tahini or garlic sauce.
