This recipe is a cross between a gyro and a taco. Gyros are a Greek dish in which meat (usually lamb or beef) is cooked on a vertical rotisserie and wrapped in pita, along with fillings such as tzatziki, tomatoes, and onions.

This recipe uses ground turkey instead of lamb or beef cooked on a rotisserie. 93% lean ground turkey is lower in fat and calories while being similar in protein to 80% lean ground beef.
