Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Low sodium pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices Low sodium pepperoni slices
- 8 ounces Ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until turkey is completely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness, approximately 12 inches in diameter for a uniform crust.
Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the low sodium pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked turkey mixture over the cheese.
Add low sodium pepperoni slices on top of the sausage evenly across the pizza.
Using a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet, transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove pizza from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve.
