Method
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add the asparagus and green beans to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in honey mustard, mixing well until all ingredients are coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- While the filling cooks, lightly warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Stuff each pita with the turkey and vegetable mixture, dividing evenly amongst them. Cut the stuffed pitas in half for easy serving.
- Serve with a simple side salad of mixed greens and halved cherry tomatoes, topped with cracked black pepper.
