Recipe makes: 6 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey or chicken

  • 1 cloved minced garlic (or pre-minced)

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 6 small pita breads

  • Suggested toppings: shredded romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced onion, thinly sliced jalapeno, hummus

Recipe Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic and seasonings. Mix until fully combined. Separate into 6 equal portions.

  2. Take each portion of ground turkey and spread evenly across one side of the pita.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add each pita, turkey side down, and saute until golden brown. Flip so the pita is facing down in the pan until pita is toasted and turkey is fully cooked through.
