Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
- 1 12-inch Whole wheat pizza crust
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
In a medium bowl, combine lean ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, egg white, and whole wheat flour. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 3/4-inch in diameter.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked turkey meatballs on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes.
Slice and serve hot.
