Description:
I stumbled upon this delightful recipe in a BH&G special Cookout magazine, and let me tell you, it’s a gem! 🌟 Simple, flavorful, and absolutely perfect for those balmy summer evenings when you want something light yet satisfying for dinner. 🌞
Ingredients:
- 2 turkey tenderloins
- 1/2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of tomato
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 2 pita bread rounds
📝 Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | 🌿 Grill the Turkey: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the turkey tenderloins directly on the grill for 12-15 minutes, or until they are tender and no longer pink, remember to turn them once during grilling. 🍗 Set aside half of the salad dressing for later use. Brush the remaining dressing onto the turkey during the last 5 minutes of grilling, letting it soak up all those delicious flavors. |
| 2 | 🌿 Prepare the Pita Bread: While the turkey is grilling, mix together the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this flavorful mixture onto one side of each pita bread round. 🥖 |
| 3 | 🌿 Grill the Pita Bread: Place the pita bread rounds, brushed side down, on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until they are nicely toasted and have those perfect grill marks. 🌟 |
| 4 | 🌿 Assemble the Sandwiches: Now comes the fun part! On the grilled side of one half of the pita bread, place a crisp romaine lettuce leaf. 🥬 Next, top it with slices of the flavorful grilled turkey, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices (if you’re feeling extra indulgent!). 🥑 Drizzle the reserved salad dressing over the top for that classic Caesar flavor. 🥗 |
| 5 | 🌿 Final Touches: Finish off your masterpiece by sprinkling generous amounts of shaved Parmesan cheese over the top. 🧀 Finally, top each sandwich with the remaining pita bread halves. 🥙 Press gently to secure all those delicious layers together. |
Serving Suggestions:

Tips:
- 🔥 Make sure your grill is preheated to the right temperature before adding the turkey. This ensures that perfect char and flavor.

- 🌿 For an extra burst of freshness, you can sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil over the sandwich before serving.
