Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust whole wheat pizza crust
- 0.5 cup low-fat tomato sauce
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and slice the red onion into thin strips.
Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and add the mushrooms and onion. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the low-fat tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Layer the cooked mushrooms, onions, and turkey pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the top.
Carefully remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and place the prepared pizza on it.
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 let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into 8 pieces.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat pepperoni and mushroom pizza.
