I LOVE bar style food and these little guys made me feel like I was being "bad" when I was actually being "good". Loose terms I know but you know that i mean. ;~)
Armed with leftover turkey from Christmas and stale pitas I put these together. YUM! Is all I can say!
Ingredients
- 2 small or 1 large whole wheat pitas
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 2 oz leftover turkey (or chicken even short cuts would work)
- about ¼ cup diced bell pepper (I used an orange one)
- 1 oz light (2%) Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Use a BBQ brush to spread the BBQ sauce into the nook and crannies of the pita.
Top with the turkey, bell peppers and cheese.
Bake about 10 minutes.
Here's a little before and after cooking shot. Just be warned the "light" cheddar never really looks like it melts but it's pretty good!

Hey Roni,
Have you ever tried soy cheese? It melts like a dream and is really tasty!

What a great idea! I've already been using the Western Bagel Alternative Pita (1 point each) for pizza crust for a while. I never thought of making one with bbq sauce though. This will definitely be going on my To Try list for next week. 🙂
