Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package premade pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 unit jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the premade pizza dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked turkey, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the prepared dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the seasoned ground turkey across the pizza.
Top with the cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives, and jalapeño slices (if using).
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro and dollops of sour cream, if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Turkey Taco Pizza!
