Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) whole wheat pizza dough
• 0.5 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
• 20 slices turkey pepperoni
• 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage
• 4 slices (chopped) lean canadian bacon
• 0.5 cup (sliced) red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup (sliced) red onion
• 0.5 cup (sliced) mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round. If you're not using a pizza stone, place the dough on a greased pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

Step 5

Arrange the turkey pepperoni slices over the cheese.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled turkey sausage and the chopped lean Canadian bacon evenly over the pizza.

Step 7

Distribute the sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms over the top of the meats.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the pizza for added flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, gently slide the pizza onto the preheated stone.

Step 10

Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 8 wedges.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat meatlovers pizza!
