Turkey Pizza Recipe

This was one of my favorites b/f I began the pre-op Liquid phase of my diet:

Yield

6 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon  olive oil
• 1  cup  chopped onion
• 3  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 3/4  cups  canned crushed tomatoes
• 1/8  teaspoon  salt
• 1/8  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
• 1/4  cup  chopped fresh parsley
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh basil
• 1  (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• Cooking spray
• 2  cups  chopped skinned cooked turkey
• 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese
• 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

 

Preheat oven to 400°.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley and basil. Remove from heat. Cool completely.

Roll dough into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a (12-inch) pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim.

Spread tomato mixture over crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Top with turkey; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden.

Ooh yummy!  Sounds delicious.  I'm cutting out carbs other than fruits & veggies, but was looking for some things like casserole-type comfort foods and this sounds like the ticket!!  I can leave out the pizza crust and mix everything else up and bake it!
