Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

6 mini whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley or mint leaves for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

    Season the Turkey: Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the spices are well incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Assemble the Pita Pockets: Cut each mini pita pocket in half to create two halves. Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus inside each pocket.

        Fill with Turkey: Using a spoon, add 2-3 tablespoons of the turkey mixture into each hummus-lined pita. Be careful not to overfill them.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Top the turkey with diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley or mint for a pop of color and flavor.

            Serve: Serve the mini pita pockets on a platter with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy as a light lunch or a fun appetizer at your next gathering.
