7. Greek Sloppy Joe Pitas
Mediterranean cuisine meets comfort food in these crowd-pleasing pita pockets. Fill purchased pita rounds with fork-tender lamb, crunchy cucumber, and chickpeas for a fabulous healthy bagged lunch. Pack the red wine-simmered mixture in a separate container to avoid soggy pitas.
8. Turkey-Quinoa Salad
Granny Smith apple, Gouda cheese, and dried fruit give this tasty grain salad its complex flavor. (Psst … you can totally make this with leftover or rotisserie chicken instead of turkey if that’s what you have on hand.) To make it grab-and-go-friendly, place this brown bag lunch idea in a container with a tight-fitting lid and put your favorite light salad dressing in a separate container.
