INGREDIENT NOTES:
LEAN GROUND TURKEY:
- This is the main protein ingredient that keeps it light. It gives meaty texture to the recipe and makes it filling. You may use lean ground beef as per your preference.
NO-SUGAR-ADDED LIGHT PIZZA SAUCE:
- It provides classic tomato and pizza taste in the pie crust. You may use light marinara sauce as an alternative.
FAT-FREE SHREDDED MOZZARELLA:
- Mozzarella keeps the topping cheesy without adding extra fat. It melts nicely on the top and makes the recipe flavorful. You may use reduced-fat mozzarella as another idea.
MUSHROOMS:
- They give meaty texture and volume to the recipe. Mushrooms make the recipe light and pie hearty. You may use zucchini as a substitute.
