Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 mini whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced into small pieces

1/2 red bell pepper, diced into small pieces

1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground turkey. Use a spatula to break the turkey into smaller pieces. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the turkey is cooking, prepare your vegetables. In a mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced red bell pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed.

      Warm the Pita Pockets: To make the pita soft and easy to fill, warm the mini pita pockets in a toaster oven or microwave for about 10-15 seconds. They should be warm and pliable when done.

        Fill the Pitas: Take each warmed pita pocket and spread approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus inside. Then, add a generous portion of the cooked turkey followed by a helping of the fresh veggie mixture for a colorful and nutritious filling.

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, chop some fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top of each filled pita for an extra pop of flavor and color. Arrange the mini pita pockets on a large platter and serve with additional hummus on the side for dipping.

            Enjoy: These flavorful mini turkey pita pockets make for a delightful lunch, dinner, or snack option that everyone will enjoy!
