Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 large Pita bread
2 ounces Shaved turkey
2 tablespoons Diced red onion; or thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Diced green bell pepper; or thinly sliced
½ cup Shredded lettuce
¼ cup Chopped tomato; or sliced
Alfalfa sprouts
2 tablespoons Fat-free salad dressing

Directions

Cut large pita round in half. Tuck in meat of choice, red onion, green pepper, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and top with alfalfa sprouts.

Spoon on fat-free dressing. Yield: 2 servings.

Variations: Lean or extra lean cold cuts: chicken, roast beef or roast pork; shaved.

Mayo reduced the fat and calories by: 1) halving the amount of meat but doubling it's volume by used shaved or thinly sliced cold cuts. 2) halving the amount of dressing, and 3) substituting a non-fat version of a food: compare 99 cal (11g fat) for mayonnaise; 50 cal (5g fat) for lowfat mayonnaise; and 10 cal (0g fat) for fat-free mayonnaise.
