Spread the beef mixture directly over one side of the pita, pressing it into a thin, even layer all the way to the edges.
Season the meat with salt, pepper and garlic herb seasoning.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Place the pita mince-side down and press firmly with a spatula. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Flip and cook the pita side for another 1–2 minutes, until warm and lightly crispy.
Combine the tomato, cucumber, parsley and red onion in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, sumac, salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
Mix all the garlic yoghurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Top the smashed pita with the garlic yoghurt sauce, sumac salad and pickled turnips. Fold or roll up and enjoy.
