Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, garlic, coriander, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Form into four 10cm (4-inch) patties. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to grill.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, place the eggplants on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then pat dry.
Step 3
• Brush the eggplant and grill grate with olive oil. Grill the eggplant until tender and grill marks appear, 4-5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the turkey cutlets until cooked through and grill marks appear, 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4
• Top a pita with some lettuce, a few eggplant slices, a turkey patty, and chopped onion. Add 3 tablespoons of water to the hummus, then spoon it over the pita. Serve with vegetable chips.
