- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauteing until translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through (approximately 7-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the harissa paste and mix well, letting it cook for an additional 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
- While the turkey is cooking, warm the whole wheat pitas in an oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes until soft.
- Once the turkey is done, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped spinach and diced avocado, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.
- Cut the warm pitas in half, and carefully open each half. Stuff each pita with the turkey mixture generously.
- Serve the stuffed pitas with a side salad of your choice and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Enjoy!
