Brown ground turkey in a large skillet in the oil over low heat for 5 min, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ground turkey to a bowl, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet for additional use.
In the same skillet, in the hreserved oil, saute onions on medium heat for 5 min (use more olive oil IF needed).
Return the meat to the skillet and add the soup mix and the tomato soup.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 min, stirring often.
To serve: Cut open pita pockets; spoon in mixture; top with shredded swiss cheese.
Variation: Swap out the swiss cheese for another kind of cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar or monterey jack.
NOTE: prep time covers the onion chopping; cook time covers the remainder of the preparation.
