Crust:
1 pound frozen whole-wheat bread dough, thawed and at room temperature*
¼ cup pizza sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Turkey Sausage Filling:
½ pound low-fat turkey smoked sausage, sliced very thin
1 green pepper, sliced
½ onion, sliced thin
1 cup (4 ounces) grated, reduced-fat cheese
Ground Meat Filling:
½ pound extra lean ground beef or ground turkey (7% fat, cooked and crumbled)
1 cup thinly sliced vegetables
1 cup (4 ounces) grated, reduced-fat cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
*Thaw frozen bread dough in the refrigerator overnight, then set out for about ½ hour at room temperature for easier rolling.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll dough into 10-inch by 14-inch rectangle. Place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread pizza sauce on half of the dough. Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Top with filling ingredients.
Fold dough over and press edges together to seal in filling. Bake for 20 minutes. Cut into eight slices.
The recipe using the sausage filling is higher in sodium and should be limited by those on a low-sodium diet.
