Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 4 slices cooked turkey slices
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the butter with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Carefully cut each pita bread into halves to create 4 pockets.
Gently open up the pita pockets and stuff each with 1 slice of turkey, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, a small handful of spinach leaves, and a few tomato slices.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the outside of each pita pocket.
Place the stuffed pita pockets in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip each pocket and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, allowing the cheese to melt completely and the pita to crisp up.
Remove from the skillet and let the pockets cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
