Turkey Pizza



I was inspired by the “starter” ingredient to make this dish: Pizza Bread from Loma Linda bakery in Loma Linda. I used the small size pre-baked pizza bread, a variety which—to a degree—resembles foccacia.

To this I added about half a 14-ounce jar of Prego Italian sauce (fresh mushroom flavor). Then about four ounces of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, followed by close to half a pound of cooked ground turkey, some sliced black olives, and sliced red bell pepper.

I baked it on a cookie sheet in a 425° oven for 15 minutes. I’m thinking I could have gone an extra five minutes for a bit more doneness, although the meat portion was obviously pre-cooked. 

The result was a tasty, “deep” pizza, but definitely not a user-friendly finger food. A knife and fork works best for this dish. I will need to experiment with other ingredients in the near future.
