Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Low sodium pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 slices Low sodium pepperoni slices
• 8 ounces Ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until turkey is completely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness, approximately 12 inches in diameter for a uniform crust.

Step 4

Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 5

Spread the low sodium pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the cooked turkey mixture over the cheese.

Step 8

Add low sodium pepperoni slices on top of the sausage evenly across the pizza.

Step 9

Using a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet, transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove pizza from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve.
