Turkey Sausage Pizza Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
3/4 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

With greased fingers, press dough onto a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, mushrooms and green pepper over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain.
Spread crust with pizza sauce. Top with sausage mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Freeze option: Wrap and freeze cooled pizza. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Unwrap; bake on a pizza pan at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8 slices.
