Pizza on a Stick Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 5 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

8 ounces Italian turkey sausage links
2 cups whole fresh mushrooms
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
30 slices turkey pepperoni (2 ounces)
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1-1/4 cups pizza sauce, warmed

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. When cool enough to handle, cut sausage into 20 pieces. On 10 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the sausage, vegetables and pepperoni.
Unroll pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface; cut widthwise into 1-in.-wide strips. Starting at the pointed end of a prepared skewer, pierce skewer through one end of dough strip and press dough against last ingredients on the skewer. Spiral-wrap dough strip around skewer, allowing vegetables and meats to peek through. Wrap the remaining end of dough strip around skewer above the first ingredient. Repeat with remaining dough strips and prepared skewers.
Arrange kabobs on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender and pizza crust is golden. Immediately sprinkle with cheese. Serve with pizza sauce. Yield: 5 servings.
