1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 mini whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup baby spinach leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

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

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, until the turkey is fully cooked and browned.

      Assemble the Pitas: Warm the mini pita pockets in a toaster oven or microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they are soft and pliable.

        Fill the Pitas: Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus inside each warm pita pocket. Add a generous portion of the cooked turkey, followed by the fresh veggie mix.

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color. Serve the mini pita pockets on a platter with additional hummus on the side for dipping.
