Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Rub the lamb with the olive oil, dried oregano, lemon rind, paprika, some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Thread on to 4 long or 8 short metal skewers and leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes. Preheat the grill to a hot setting.
For the salad, mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, pepper, onion, mint and oil in a large serving bowl and sprinkle over the feta and parsley. Stir in the lemon juice and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
Cook the lamb skewers under the grill for 5-10 minutes, or until cooked to the pinkness desired, turning occasionally. Remove from the grill and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap the pitta breads in foil and place in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until warm.
Arrange the lamb skewers on the pitta breads with the Turkish salad and serve.
