Place turkey in large bowl; drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
Sprinkle cumin mixture over turkey; toss to coat. Thread turkey onto
metal or wooden skewers. Soak wooden skewers in hot water 30 minutes
to prevent burning. Lightly oil hot grid to prevent sticking. Grill
turkey on covered grill over medium-hot heat for 7 to 12 minutes or
until turkey is no longer pink, turning once. Serve in pita breads,
if desired, with Raita.
