Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, or to a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Season the cooked turkey with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Spread the pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 8

Distribute the cooked turkey and sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cheese.

Step 9

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your homemade Turkey Mushroom Pizza!
