Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and water.
Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the texture is completely smooth and velvety.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Season the turkey with the ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sauté the turkey for 6 to 8 minutes until it is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
Toast the whole wheat pita half in a toaster or oven until it is warm and slightly crisp.
Spread the creamy hummus into a shallow bowl, create a well in the center, and pile the warm spiced turkey on top before serving with the pita.
