Description
This savory Pepperoni Turkey Pizza is a modern twist on a classic, using uncured turkey pepperoni for a lighter, protein-packed alternative to traditional pork-based slices, all on a herb-infused crust.
Ingredients
Uncured Turkey Pepperoni Slices – 4 oz
Fresh Pizza Dough – 1 lb
Organic Pizza Sauce – 15 oz
Mozzarella Shredded Cheese – 1 lb
Colby Cheese Block – 4 oz
Pastry Flour – 1/3 cup
Butter – 1 tbsp
Italian Seasoning – 1 tsp
Dried Parsley – 1 tbsp
Instructions
Sprinkle pastry flour over workspace for dust-free shaping
Place fresh dough on floured counter to develop texture
Roll dough to 16 inches using a pizza roller for thin crust
Transfer rolled dough to a greased pizza pan for baking
Spread pizza sauce to 1/2 inch from edges for proper crust baking
Arrange turkey pepperoni slices in a single layer for even coverage
Dice Colby cheese and spread over pepperoni for nutty contrast
Add a second layer of turkey pepperoni to enhance flavor without raw meat chunks
Top with shredded mozzarella to melt evenly and bind ingredients
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-18 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly
Notes
Use part-skim mozzarella for a lighter version.
Substitute Colby with Monterey Jack if needed.
For a dairy-free crust, replace butter with olive oil.
Add fresh herbs on top for extra flavor.
