Ingredients

½ cup jarred pizza sauce
4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
½ cup sliced kalamata olives (or black olives)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 oz. pre-cooked turkey pepperoni
½ red bell pepper (diced)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place pizza sauce in a microwave safe bowl and warm in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until hot. Set aside.
Spread ¼ of the turkey pepperoni over each pita. Top each pita with ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add the olives and red bell pepper to the pitas to your desired tastes.
Place pitas in preheated oven (or you can use a countertop toaster). Cook pitas until the cheese has melted and is beginning to bubble, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the pitas from the oven to a cutting board or plate. Let cool for one minute. Holding a knife down the middle of each pita with one hand, use your other hand to fold the pita over the knife like a taco. Remove the knife and gently press the two sides together, letting the cheese “glue” the pita together.
Serve warm with a side of the warmed pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

• Many pizza toppings will work here. Pick your favorite and customize it to make it yours!
• Can’t find whole wheat pita bread? Sub for any whole grain bread option. Toast the bread so that it is nice and crunchy before you add pizza toppings and bake.
• Make without turkey pepperoni for a vegetarian option.
