Ground Turkey Pita Sandwich

Back in the eighties, it seemed like the pita sandwich was everywhere. I remember going to the tavern with my mom and they would serve their hamburgers on pita bread. That burger was awesome, I think, because it was so peculiar to be served on something other than a hamburger bun.
