Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked turkey breast (sliced or shredded)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 0.5 cups Caesar dressing
- 0.5 cups Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita pockets
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cups Croutons (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey breast and chopped romaine lettuce.
Add the Caesar dressing to the bowl and toss until the turkey and lettuce are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the mixture, and gently fold it in.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to combine.
If using croutons, add them to the mixture and toss lightly to avoid breaking them apart.
Warm the pita pockets slightly in the microwave or oven for 1-2 minutes to make them pliable.
Carefully cut an opening along one side of each pita to create a pocket.
Stuff each pita pocket with the turkey Caesar mixture, adding a few halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh and tangy touch.
Serve the Turkey Caesar Pockets immediately and enjoy!
