INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND BEEF:

  • It includes classic hamburger taste and keeps the filling meaty. You may use lean ground turkey as per your preference.

EXTRA-LEAN TURKEY ITALIAN SAUSAGE:

  • This gives a traditional Italian sausage taste to the pie. It includes seasoning and savory flavor in the filling without adding oil. You may use extra-lean chicken Italian sausage as an alternative.

TURKEY PEPPERONI:

  • It includes a familiar pizza taste in the pie and makes it delicious. You may use lean beef pepperoni as another choice.

NO-SUGAR-ADDED PIZZA SAUCE:

  • This pizza sauce gives tomato taste and moisture to the pie. No-sugar-added sauce keeps the recipe light and comforting. You may use a no-sugar-added marinara sauce as a substitute.

LIGHT REDUCED-CALORIE PIE CRUST:

  • It makes the deep-pie structure while keeping the recipe light. You may use a homemade light whole-wheat crust as a replacement.
