Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasonings
- 1/2 pound lean ground turkey (or ground beef)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
Cheeses and Sauces
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup keto pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Toppings
- 4 small mushrooms, chopped
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 8 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) so it’s ready for finishing the pizza.
- Cook the Turkey: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground turkey (or beef) and break it apart with a spatula, cooking for 4–5 minutes until no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasonings.
- Add Cheese and Assemble: Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the grated cheddar cheese to combine with the meat evenly. Spread the keto pizza sauce over the meat mixture, then layer on chopped mushrooms, sliced olives, and pepperoni. Finally, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven. Slice the crustless pizza into four portions and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Using lean ground turkey keeps this recipe lower in fat but ground beef can be used as an alternative.
- You can customize toppings based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
- Ensure the skillet you use is oven-safe for baking the dish directly.
- This recipe is great for keto and low-carb diets due to the absence of traditional pizza crust.
