My niece absolutely swore she wouldn’t eat lamb, but I secretly fed it to her during the summer she was stayed with us (ohana-style).  She loved it. Gotcha Milo! In this case, I do not recommend swapping ground turkey or chicken for the lamb.

1 pound ground lamb
1/2 red onion, finely chopped (white onion is OK too)
4-5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2-3T olive oil
Juice of one lemon
2-3T oregano
1-2T rosemary

Mix lamb, spices and olive oil. Let sit, overnight if possible, or at least 30 minutes. Cook lamb in a saute pan, and reduce the sauce a little. 
Mix yogurt sauce.  Put meat, tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, feta cheese and lettuce in warmed pitas. Drizzle yogurt sauce over.
