  1. 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.
  2. Add the asparagus and green beans to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Stuff each pita with the turkey and vegetable mixture, dividing evenly amongst them. Cut the stuffed pitas in half for easy serving.
  6. Serve with a simple side salad of mixed greens and halved cherry tomatoes, topped with cracked black pepper.
