Clean Eating: Turkey Philly Pita with Sweet Potato Chips and Sunshine Slush

A hearty delicious meal. 


I wanted something similar to a Philly cheesesteak with a yummy side. This is definitely a comfort food dish. It was very satisfying and still clean. 

Turkey Philly Pita
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
1 cup sliced mushrooms
4 slices provolone cheese
4 whole wheat pita loaves
Yummy wholesome ingredients 


Directions:
Slice peppers and onions. Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions. Cover and cook for 6 minutes until onions become tender. Season with salt and black pepper and add mushrooms. Cook another 3 minutes until veggies are tender.

Add turkey to skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir to evenly combine veggies with meat.

Add cheese to top of meat. Cover and let cheese melt.

Slice a pita loaf in half and fill with one-quarter of the filling. Repeat with other three loaves. Eat and enjoy.
