Cherish is the Word I Use to Describe



Gyros made with spiced ground turkey, Greek cucumber tomato salad, dill yogurt, feta cheese and Kalamata olives.

The challenge this week was to come up with something new to do with our new Flava Flav!!!...ground turkey.

Turkey chili, turkey burgers, its all so good but variety is the spice of life (says the girl who hasn't changed up nary a hair on her head in over 3 years).

So, I was able to herb-up the meat with oregano, dill, thyme, mint and parsley. The salad was chopped tomato, onion, green bell pepper, cucumber with lots of lemon juice, a little olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. The Greek yogurt also got a splash of lemon and dill, some chopped Kalamata olives. Warm wheat pita bread provided the final soft cushiony hug before heading down the food shoot.

Not to toot my own horn, 'cause that ain't Christian-like but...Crazy flavor explosion! I can hear Randy Jackson's voice saying 'GOOD ON YOU MONKEY, THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT!!!'....And the great thing was that it wasn't missing that authenticity like some of my international undertakings. I'm proud of this one.
