"TURKEY PITA BURGERS"

1 medium red onion, half sliced, half chopped
1 large tomato, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon oil
1 pound ground turkey
3/4 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 cup water
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
3/4 tablespoon dill weed

In a 12 to 14-inch non-stick pan, combined chopped onion, cumin seeds and oil.  Stir often over medium heat until onion is limp, about 7 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.  Let cool slightly then mix with turkey, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous sprinkling of pepper.  Shape mixture into 4 patties.

Place patties in the pan and cook over medium high heat to brown both sides, about 6 minutes total, turning once.  Drain and discard any fat; then add 1/8 cup water and 1/8 cup vinegar.  Reduce heat and simmer until patties are no longer pink in center.

In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, 1/8 cup white wine vinegar, 3/4 tablespoon dill weed and dash of salt.  Wrap pita breads in foil and place in a 250 degree oven until hot, about 15 minutes.  Serve turkey patties in pitas with tomato slices, onions, cucumbers and yogurt sauce.  YIELD:  4 servings
