TURKEY PITAS WITH CUCUMBERS, CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI

These vibrant, crunchy, creamy turkey sandwiches have all the flavors of falafel, but without the frying. They've got a lemony tahini dressing, soft chickpeas, and a cumin-scented tomato and cucumber salad, all packed into pitas with leftover turkey (use dark or white meat). The pickled red onions give these a wonderful brightness, and they're well worth the 10 extra minutes they take to make.
