Sloppy Joes Pita Pockets image

VERY basic sloppy joes recipe that is served in pita pockets...Considerably less messy to eat than the usual sloppy joes that are served in hamburger buns...In addition I've lightened the original recipe by using ground turkey, used a low-sodium version of the canned soup and gone low-fat on the cheese...Serve with a tossed green salad!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 (10 ounce) can low-sodium tomato soup
4 ounces swiss cheese, shredded (part-skim or low-fat)
pita bread

Steps:

  • Brown ground turkey in a large skillet in the oil over low heat for 5 min, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ground turkey to a bowl, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet for additional use.
  • In the same skillet, in the hreserved oil, saute onions on medium heat for 5 min (use more olive oil IF needed).
  • Return the meat to the skillet and add the soup mix and the tomato soup.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 min, stirring often.
  • To serve: Cut open pita pockets; spoon in mixture; top with shredded swiss cheese.
  • Variation: Swap out the swiss cheese for another kind of cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar or monterey jack.
  • NOTE: prep time covers the onion chopping; cook time covers the remainder of the preparation.

These sloppy joes were delicious! The sauce was perfectly seasoned, and the pita pockets were the perfect bread to hold all the sloppy goodness. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again!

These sloppy joes were a bit too messy for my taste. The sauce was dripping everywhere, and the pita pockets were soggy. I think I would have preferred them on a hamburger bun.

I've made these sloppy joes several times now, and they are always a hit! My family loves them, and they are so easy to make. I usually serve them with a side of coleslaw and potato chips.

I'm not a big fan of sloppy joes, but I thought these were pretty good. The sauce was flavorful and the pita pockets were a nice change from the usual hamburger bun. I would definitely make these again if I was in the mood for sloppy joes.

I thought these sloppy joes were just average. The flavor was nothing special, and the pita pockets were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would have preferred them on a hamburger bun.

Not a fan. The sloppy joe filling was too sweet for my taste, and the pita pockets were too dry. I won't be making this recipe again.

These sloppy joes were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland, and the pita pockets were soggy. I think I would have preferred them on a hamburger bun instead.

These sloppy joes were easy to make and very tasty. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added some extra vegetables, like chopped carrots and celery, to bulk them up a bit. I will definitely be making these again!

These sloppy joe pita pockets were a hit with my family! The combination of ground beef, bell peppers, and onions in a tangy sauce was delicious, and the pita pockets were the perfect vessel to hold all the sloppy goodness. I will definitely be makin
