Here’s a hot turkey sandwich with a difference! Or is it a hot turkey salad with a difference? Cooked ground turkey is spooned onto pita crusts and topped with sliced tomatoes and a creamy cheese topping that melts as it heats in the oven. You’ll definitely eat this sandwich with a fork!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 pita breads (6 inches in diameter)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium celery stalk, sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • Paprika, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Cook turkey, butter and poultry seasoning in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink; drain.
  • 2
    Split each pita bread around edge with knife to make 2 rounds. Line bottom and about halfway up sides of ungreased square pan, 9x9x2 inches, with pita breads (they will overlap slightly in middle). Layer turkey, tomato and celery on pitas.
  • 3
    Mix remaining ingredients except paprika; spoon over top. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until topping is light brown.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This is easy to lighten up. Just use reduced-fat sour cream and mayonnaise (or even low-fat yogurt) and light or reduced-fat Cheddar cheese.
  • tip 2
    Colby cheese or a milder Cheddar cheese is a good cheese choice, too.
