70 minPizza night just got a protein-packed twist. The crust? It’s made of ground turkey.
Seasoned ground turkey mixed with bread crumbs, milk, and garlic salt gets pressed into a pie plate to form a meaty shell. A quick spaghetti sauce with oregano and sliced mushrooms fills the center, then Parmesan and mozzarella melt over the top into a bubbly, golden layer.
Slice it into wedges just like pizza. Kids go absolutely wild for this one.
Pro Tips
- Press the turkey crust thin and even so it cooks through completely
- Let the pie rest for 5 to 10 minutes after baking so it slices cleanly
- Add the mozzarella only during the last 15 minutes to prevent it from burning
- Customize with your favorite pizza toppings: pepperoni, olives, or diced bell peppers
