Low-Fat Pita Pizzas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 regular pita bread rounds (not the pocket type)
    1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
    3 -5 teaspoons pizza seasoning, divided (or your favorite Italian spices)
    8 ounces ground turkey (up to 16 ounces)
    1/4 cup water
    1/2 small onion, minced (optional)
    8 mushrooms, sliced thin (optional)
    1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
    8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (up to 16 ounces)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F.
    Place pita rounds on cookie sheet in single layer (use 2 if need be).
    Mix tomato sauce with 1-2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning, set aside. (You can also use your favorite Italian spices or your favorite pizza sauce.).
    Cook ground turkey in skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Sprinkle with 2-3 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning and mix well.
    Add water, stir, and let simmer until the turkey absorbs all the water, about 5 minutes.
    Spread each pita w/ about 1/4 cup sauce. Sprinkle w/ minced onion, sliced mushrooms, black olives, or any veggie you like. Sprinkle w/ cooked turkey, then top w/ an even layer of shredded cheese.
    Cook for about 10 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly and brown. (Start checking at about 5 minutes just to make sure you don't overcook-depends on the amount of toppings and cheese you use and your oven.).
