DIRECTIONS

Combine dressing and set aside. This includes: yogurt, dill, garlic powder, and cucumber.
In 12" nonstick skillet, heat oil.
Add garlic, onions, venison, and oregano. Cook for 4-6 minutes.
Make sure the meat is no longer pink. I like to leave the onions a little crunchy. I like to salt the meat a little at this time.
Assemble the pitas and enjoy!
