- 2 teaspoons red or rice wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large pitas

- 1 large onion, peeled, halved and cut into chunky wedges
- 3 cups leftover roast turkey, pulled into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce (preferably romaine)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved and lightly salted
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
