Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Warm the pita breads in the skillet or grill pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and slightly toasted. Remove from heat and keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the baby spinach leaves with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Toss gently to season.
To assemble each sandwich, take one pita bread and gently slice it open halfway to create a pocket.
Layer inside the pocket: a small handful of seasoned spinach leaves, 1/2 cup of sliced turkey, 2 ounces of brie cheese, and 2 tablespoons of toasted pecans.
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of honey over each sandwich filling to add a touch of sweetness.
Serve immediately while the pita is warm and the brie begins to soften, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
