This can be made entirely outside on the grill, or partially cooked and assembled in the kitchen and then baked on the
grill. Quiock and easy with pizza dough from the refrigerator section, or make your own dough from your favorite recipe,
or mine, see Pizza Dough, No Cholesterol . If the weather is not cooperating to grill, you can also make this in the oven. Although this makes 8
servings, it satisfies the diet and appetite of 2 people.
Ingredients:
1 8 ounce package of turkey sausage in link form, like kielbasa or any other low fat turkey sausage
olive oil cooking spray
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and quartered lengthwise
1 medium onion, skinned and cut into 1/2 inch wedges
1 10 ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
a sprinkling of cornmeal for the cookie sheet
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/2 tsp crumbled dried basil leaves
1/2 cup low fat, reduced sodium marinara sauce
2 or 3 fresh mushrooms, thinly slice, optional
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
1/3 cup,shredded, part skim mozzarella cheese
Procedure:
On the stovetop or on the grill, cook the sausages in a skillet about 2 minutes and then add the pepper and onion and keep
cooking for about 10 minutes or until the sausage is done through and the veggies are crispy tender. Remove from heat
and allow to cool slightly before breaking up the sausage into 1/2 inch slices. Chop the pepper and onion into smaller
pieces if desired. Turn the oven or grill to low heat. Open the tube of dough, and roll or pat into a roughly 10
inch circle. Sprinkle a cookie sheet with a little cornmeal and place the dough in the center. Pat into desired
shape and thickness with your fingers. Place in the grill or oven and bake about 3 minutes at low heat, remove, turn
over carefully and brush with the olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and basil. Evenly spread the marinara sauce,
arrange sausage, papper and onion pieces, then mushrooms if using. Top with cheese and continue to cook for another
4 to 5 minutes and the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
