Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza








Another frigid day around here again. It was a minus 12 with a wind chill factor and it didn't get much higher than that throughout the day. I think everyone will be glad this run of Winter weather finally ends. Managed to get out and run a couple of errands that was it for the day. For dinner it was Pizza Night, Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza.








I used the Meijer Pizza Thin Crusts again. They're 130 calories and 19 net carbs for a half Pizza. So eating a full one would only be 260 calories and 38 carbs, not too bad. For my toppings I used Jennie – O Lean Sweet Italian Sausages (Which I fried ahead of time), Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella, Ragu Original Pizza Sauce, Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 1/2 (Small) Can Sliced Black Olives, and 3 Thin Slices of Anchovies (Chopped).





I preheated the oven on 425 degrees. I then brushed a light coating of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then added my toppings. Baked for about 7 minutes and then turned the broiler on and baked it an additional 1 minute. By using the broiler for a minute or so it crisped the crust a little and browned the cheese a bit, perfect! Great call on dinner tonight as it the spot, made 2 of them one for my dinner and one for Mom and Dad to snack on later tonight. For dessert later a Del Monte Mango Chunk Cup.
