Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 jimmy dean turkey sausage patties
2 -3 slices cheese (I reccommend Cabot sharp cheddar cheese)
1/2 pita pocket
2 -3 tablespoons taco bell mild taco sauce

Steps:

  • First, heat a pan on medium heat (I like to spray a little cooking spray, because the sausages sometimes stick) and then cook the two sausage patties until browned.
  • Then take the slices of cheese and place them on the sausage pattie, and turn the heat down to low.
  • When the cheese is a little melted take the patties and place them in the halfed pita pocket. Then put the pocket back in the pan, and brown until lightly toasted on both sides.
  • Lastly, take out the pita pocket and spoon the sauce into the sandwich.
  • enjoy.
  • *NOTE: you can use any type of cheese or meat and sauce.
