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.

These sandwiches are a little messy to eat, but they're so worth it. The filling is delicious and the bread is perfectly soft and fluffy.

These pocket sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have some stale bread on hand and these sandwiches are a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but I made these sandwiches without it and they were still delicious. The filling was moist and flavorful enough on its own.

These pocket sandwiches are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in some chopped carrots and celery into the filling and they never even notice.
