Ingredients

• 1 pound whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 8 ounces lean turkey breast, thinly sliced
• 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion and red bell pepper for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12x15 inches.

Step 5

Layer the turkey slices evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the turkey, then top with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Season the filling with dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Starting with one long side, gently roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the stromboli.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled stromboli onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk the egg white and brush it evenly over the stromboli to give it a nice golden color when baked.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, make small slits at the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal.
