Dinner Tonight: Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pita Bread pizza





An old friend of mine passed away late last night with lung cancer. He never had smoked but worked in bars most of his life and the doctors had said it was due to second-hand smoke. So it's been a bit of down day. Really muggy outside today, so not much going on. For dinner tonight I made a Pizza, but just not any Pizza a Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pita Bread Pizza!






I use Joseph’s Oat Bran and Stone Ground Whole Wheat Pita Bread anytime I can, especially for my Pizza! I love using Joseph’s Pita Breads, always fresh and they’re only 60 calories, 1.5 grams fat, and 5 net carbs! A huge saving instead of calories and carbs over using normal Pizza Crust, without sacrificing taste.





I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. To bake the Pita Pizzas I used a large Cookie Sheet. To prepare them I brushed them with a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the coating of Oil browns it up just right. I then baked it for 5 minutes, just to brown it up a bit. Removed them from the oven and made my Pizzas.






For my toppings I used Jennie – O Hot Lean Turkey Breakfast Sausage, Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Sliced Black and Green Olives, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 2 Anchovies Fillets, Fresh Shredded Murray's Muenster Cheese, and Fresh Shredded Murray's Mozzarella Cheese. It took less than 10 minutes in the oven until everything heated up and the Cheese melted.Pizza is served! Everything combined makes one delicious Pizza! And the good thing is you can load these Pita Bread Pizzas up with toppings and still not have a lot of calories and carbs, my type of Pizza! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
