Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces lean turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion and red bell pepper for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12x15 inches.
Layer the turkey slices evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the turkey, then top with the sautéed vegetables.
Season the filling with dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Starting with one long side, gently roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the stromboli.
Transfer the rolled stromboli onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white and brush it evenly over the stromboli to give it a nice golden color when baked.
Using a sharp knife, make small slits at the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal.
