Using a premade crust helps this dish come together much quicker than making your own. You will need to thicken the sauce with tomato paste to keep the crust crisp. For pizzeria-caliber results, bake on a preheated pizza stone.
Ingredients:
4 ounces hot turkey italian sausage
cooking spray
1 cup red bell pepper strips (about 1 medium)
1 cup yellow bell pepper strips (about 1 medium)
1 (16-ounce) cheese-flavored pizza crust (such as boboli)
1 cup basic marinara
1 tablespoon no-salt-added tomato paste
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Remove casings from sausage. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sausage and bell peppers to pan; cook 6 minutes or until bell peppers are crisp-tender and sausage is browned, stirring frequently.
3. Place pizza crust on a large baking sheet. Combine Basic Marinara and tomato paste, stirring with a whisk; spread evenly over crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with cheeses and oregano; top evenly with sausage mixture. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is lightly browned. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
