FOR THE PIZZA FILLING:
- Quarter cup chopped spinach
- ¾ cup no-sugar-added pizza sauce

INGREDIENT NOTES:
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR:
- It makes the crust soft and more filling. This flour gives a slightly nutty taste and keeps you full for longer. You may use all-purpose flour as per your preference.
PLAIN NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:
- We use this yogurt in the dough instead of butter and oil. It makes the soft crust without including extra fat. You may use plain low-fat yogurt as an alternative.
NO-SUGAR-ADDED PIZZA SAUCE:
- It gives a rich tomato taste and has low sugar in the recipe. This pizza sauce keeps the filling moist and tasty. You may use homemade tomato sauce as another option.
FAT-FREE MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- This cheese melts well and keeps the calories low. Mozzarella cheese gives classic cheesy pizza texture without increasing the points. You may use reduced-fat mozzarella as a substitute.
TURKEY PEPPERONI:
- It gives classic spicy meat-lover’s taste with fewer calories. You may include chicken pepperoni as an alternative.
MUSHROOMS:
- They give a rich and meaty texture to the recipe while providing low calories. Mushrooms increase pizza volume and make it satisfying. You may use eggplant as per your choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 400°F and coat the pan with cooking spray.
- Mix whole wheat flour, salt baking powder, and Greek yogurt in a bowl to make a soft dough.
- Roll the dough in the pan then cover the bottom and sides with it.
- Cook the ground turkey in the skillet on moderate flame and drain extra liquid properly.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the dough and sprinkle half of the mozzarella on the sauce.
- Include cooked turkey, bell pepper, smoked turkey, mushrooms, turkey pepperoni, onion, spinach, remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Sprinkle onion powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes then bake for 28 minutes.
- Lastly, cool the pizza for ten minutes then cut it into 8 slices.
