Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and coriander and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey and salt to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, for 5 to 7 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the turkey cooks, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Warm the pita in the skillet or microwave. Stuff the pita with the cooked turkey, diced cucumber, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
