Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Low-fat marinara sauce
• 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 slices Turkey pepperoni
• 0.5 cup Turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 cup Fresh arugula
• 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Spray a large baking sheet or pizza peel with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet or pizza peel.

Step 5

Spread the low-fat marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Top with turkey pepperoni slices and crumbled turkey sausage, distributing them evenly.

Step 8

Add sliced red bell pepper, and red onion over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over all the toppings.

Step 10

Finally, sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil evenly over the entire pizza.

Step 11

Transfer the pizza carefully to the oven (or onto the hot pizza stone if using) and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for a minute or two.

Step 13

Top the pizza with fresh arugula just before serving for a crisp, peppery finish.

Step 14

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious low-fat pepperoni sausage pizza!
