Turkey Pockets: Deli Turkey recipe for easy meals.

Print Recipe

A quick and fresh meal featuring thin-sliced deli turkey, crisp vegetables, and a zesty Dijon-mayo spread tucked into wholesome pita pockets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large whole wheat or white pita pockets
  • 8 ounces deli turkey, sliced thin
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced avocado or pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pita pockets by cutting each in half to create an opening, ensuring you don't cut all the way through.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  3. Spread a generous spoonful of the mayo-mustard mixture inside each pita pocket.
  4. Layer the deli turkey slices into the pockets, followed by baby spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion.
  5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper. Add optional avocado or pickles if desired.
  6. Serve cold immediately, or for a warm meal, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • To prevent sogginess, add the dressing and tomatoes right before serving if packing for lunch.
  • Whole wheat pitas add extra fiber and a nuttier flavor.
