In a small bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, dried parsley, and half the salt. Set aside to marinate while you cook.
Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, cumin, garlic powder, and the remaining salt. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until opaque and fully cooked. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the pita pieces to the empty space. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through.
Transfer the spiced turkey and warm pita to a bowl. Add the cucumber salad and a small dollop of hummus to finish.
