Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pita loaves with pockets
6 fresh tomatillos (about 1/2 pound total)
1 fresh jalapeño chili, seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves)
1 garlic clove, chopped
6 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
Half a 7-ounce jar roasted red pepper, rinsed and patted dry
2 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut into 6 slices
1/4 cup fresh coriander, washed, dried, and chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Split pita loaves horizontally to create 4 rounds.
  • Discard husks from tomatillos and rinse under warm water. Chop tomatillos and in a blender purée with jalapeño, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. In a small saucepan cook purée over moderate heat, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes.
  • Spread 1/4 tomatillo purée on rough side of each pita round. Arrange 2 pita rounds on a baking sheet and top evenly with turkey, roasted pepper, mozzarella, and coriander. Top with remaining pita rounds, tomatillo sides down. Brush tops of sandwiches with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake sandwiches in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until cheese is slightly melted and tops of pitas are golden brown.
  • Cut sandwiches into wedges if desired.

These sandwiches were a bit too messy to eat, but they were still delicious.

I wasn't sure about the combination of turkey and tomatillo, but it turned out to be really good. I will definitely be making these sandwiches again.

I found these sandwiches to be a bit too heavy. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I thought these sandwiches were just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste.

I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The flavors were well-balanced and the chipotle mayo was the perfect finishing touch.

These sandwiches were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more sauce next time.

I had to substitute some of the ingredients, but the sandwiches still turned out great. I used provolone cheese instead of smoked mozzarella and salsa instead of tomatillo salsa.
