Ingredients
-
1/2 pound ground turkey - 93% lean
1/2 cup onion - chopped fine
2 garlic cloves - minced
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup red bell pepper - chopped fine
3/4 cup tomato puree
12 oz pizza dough - Whole Wheat Thin Crust Pizza Dough (see AZIAS_MOMMY's recipe, it is what I used - 12 oz is slightly less than half her recipe)
1 cup mozzarella - shredded
1 egg white, beaten
Directions
1. Adjust oven rack to upper third of the oven and Preheat to 425 degrees.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook 5 minutes, stirring to crumble.
3. Add onion and garlic; continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
4. Add spices and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.
5. Add chopped pepper; continue to cook 1 minute.
6. Remove mixture from heat and stir in tomato puree.
7. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out dough into 4 circles and place 1/2 cup of turkey mixture on half of the dough circles then top with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
8. Using a pastry brush or fingers, brush the egg mixture on the border of the dough.
9. Fold dough over turkey mixture and press with a fork to seal.
10. If you prefer a crisp crust, brush some additional egg wash over the top. (This step is Optional)
11. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
