INGREDIENTS

1/4 c Broken walnuts or pecans
1 lb Ground turkey
1 Onion, chopped
1/4 lb Mushrooms, sliced
16 oz Canned tomatoes, undrained
1 t Sugar
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/4 t Crushed red pepper, up to
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 t Salt
4 Lettuce leaves
2 Pita bread, cut in half

INSTRUCTIONS

Gently brown broken nuts in a large, non-stick skillet coated with
cooking spray, stirring frequently.  Remove to a small dish lined  with
paper towel and set aside.  Brown turkey in the same skillet and drain
well.  (Or, cook in  microwave in a colander until just no longer
pink.)  Set aside.  In the same skillet, saut onion until soft.  Add
turkey, mushrooms,  tomatoes with their liquid, sugar, and seasonings.
Over high heat,  bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer,
uncovered, until  liquid is absorbed.  This will take a while depending
on the amount  of canned tomato liquid.  Stir occasionally.  Line each
pita half with a large lettuce leaf.  Divide mixture equally  among
pita halves.  Top each with 1 tablespoon nuts.  Makes 4  servings.  per
