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.).
