1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim or reduced-fat)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Pizza sauce (look for a low-sugar or no-sugar-added option)
Reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
Your choice of pizza toppings (vegetables, lean meats, etc.)
Optional: Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey with grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the chicken mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread it out evenly, shaping it into a round crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the chicken crust in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it’s cooked through and the edges are golden brown.
Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add your choice of pizza toppings on top of the cheese.
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Slice and serve.
