Sandwiches are one of my favorite food groups! Ok I know, I can’t really categorize a sandwich as a food group, however a good sandwich will have something from each food group inside! You have your bread, protein, cheese as your dairy and vegetables! In this particular sandwich I use Pita bread as my bread, turkey as my protein, and provolone as my cheese! Vegetables are up to you but this sandwich tastes delicious with just simple lettuce and tomato.
First cut the pita in half, and open both sides. Be very careful when doing this because you don’t want a hole in your pita! I then layer both sides with some honey mustard (honey mustard goes great with turkey. You can always use regular mustard if you are not a fan of the honey). I always put down the cheese first because I want the cheese to be against the bread. That lets the cheese melt easier if you wanted to go ahead and toast your pita. Next I put down the lettuce because it is the most difficult to space throughout. The comes the turkey, and then top it off with the tomatoes. It doesn’t really matter what order you top things but this is how I always make my sandwiches.
To make this sandwich extra delicious, you would toast it on a grill or panini press. Pita breads can sometimes be a bit dry, so if you toast it, the cheese melts and the bread is a little bit crunchy. Add some potato chips on the side or if you are sticking to a more healthy route use carrot sticks!
