Eliminating pita bread drops ~35–40g of refined carbs per serving, making this genuinely low-carb and paleo-compliant. Swapping Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt removes dairy. Replacing ground lamb with lean ground turkey reduces saturated fat substantially while increasing protein per calorie. The romaine lettuce wrap replacement adds fiber and micronutrients with negligible calories.
Cooking note: Removing pita bread eliminates gluten and significantly cuts carbs. Swapping full-fat Greek yogurt (dairy) for full-fat coconut yogurt maintains the binding moisture and fat content in the lamb mixture — the protein structure of the meat will still bind adequately with the grated onion acting as a natural tenderizer. The coconut yogurt's slightly higher moisture content is negligible at ⅓ cup and will not require liquid ratio adjustments in the lamb mixture. Ground turkey replaces lamb to reduce saturated fat while boosting lean protein, keeping fat in the moderate range.
