Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, or to a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the cooked turkey with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, then remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the cooked turkey and sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice and enjoy your homemade Turkey Mushroom Pizza!
