What’s not to love about a turkey pita sandwich loaded with lean protein and fresh veggies? Add some hummus, and we’ve got an extra delicious lunch.

Keep reading, and I’ll show you how to pack everything so the pita bread stays fresh in the lunchbox.

Easy Turkey Pita

Pita rounds are an excellent lunchbox accessory because they can be used to make this turkey sandwich variation or sliced and served with hummus and other snacks in a Mediterranean Bento.

For this idea, we’re filling the pita full of fresh ingredients like deli meat, veggies, and cheese- it’s a super satiating idea for growing kids and easy to assemble with their favorite ingredients.

No matter how you pack it, having a compartmentalized lunch container like this one is perfect for keeping the pita bread fresh since it will be separated from wet ingredients (fruit, veggies, and sauces).

What is in this Lunchbox

Alright, here’s what you’ll need to pack these turkey pitas for lunch!

• Pita round: regular or whole wheat.
• Hummus: to spread into the pita. Mayonnaise also works.
• Turkey: use regular ole deli turkey or ham.
• Veggies: this pita is filled with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.
• Snacks: olives, fruit, extra veggies- whatever is available in your snack drawer.

The right ingredients and ideas are all you need to make awesome lunches happen, and I’ve got all the ideas you need right below:

How to Pack This Turkey Pita Sandwich for Lunch

Follow the steps below for the best way to assemble and pack this 5-minute lunch idea:

1. Layer it like this
   Open the pita and spread the hummus onto both sides. Place a layer of lettuce onto one side, followed by the turkey, veggies, cheese, and another layer of lettuce.
   
   Tip: keeping lettuce, cheese, and turkey between the other veggies and bread will prevent it from soaking up excess moisture.
   
2. Keep everything fresh
   Place the pita into a compartmentalized lunch container and pack any wet ingredients like fruit and veggies into a separate compartment or container.
3. Prepare for take-off
   Close the lunchbox and pack it into a lunch bag with an ice pack.
