Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced, or 1 teaspoon minced garlic in oil
2 large red or yellow peppers or one of each, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon crushed, dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon crushed, dried thyme
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
4 large whole-wheat pitas
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
8 scallions, sliced thin

Steps:

  • Heat nonstick skillet and saute turkey, breaking it up as you stir, until meat begins to brown.
  • Add onion, garlic, peppers, oregano, thyme and pepper. Cook over medium heat until onion softens.
  • Add vinegar and cook quickly to reduce liquid. Adjust seasonings.
  • Toast the pitas and cut in half.
  • Either serve the meat topped with cucumbers and yogurt salad (see recipe), with tomatoes and scallions on the side, or spoon some of the meat mixture into a pita half, add a tomato slice and scallions and serve the cucumber salad on the side.

The Veggie Pocket Sandwich was a healthy and delicious option. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the hummus was creamy and flavorful. The bread was also nice and soft. I would definitely make this again! #veggie #sandwich #healthy #lunch

The Cuban Pocket Sandwich was amazing! The pork was tender and juicy, and the ham and cheese were melted together perfectly. The bread was also nice and crusty. I will definitely be making this again! #cuban #sandwich #pork #ham #cheese

The Tuna Salad Pocket Sandwich was a bit bland. The tuna salad was a little dry, and the bread was not very flavorful. I would not recommend this recipe. #tunasalad #sandwich #easyrecipe

I tried the Chicken Parmesan Pocket Sandwich recipe and it was a hit! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the melted cheese and marinara sauce were the perfect complement. The bread was also nice and crispy. I will definitely be making this agai
