In a bowl mix 1 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Add 1 1/2 lbs chicken and marinate at least 1 hour for best flavor.

Warm 4 flatbreads. Fill each with chicken, sliced tomatoes, red onion, pickled turnips, parsley, and drizzle with sauce.
Fold and roll tightly. Toast in a skillet 1 to 2 minutes per side for a crisp exterior before slicing and serving.
