Barbi provided this recipe at our Peppers workshop
1 lb prepared whole-wheat pizza dough 2 c sliced mushrooms
6 ounces Italian turkey sausage, about ¼ c water
2 large links, casings removed 1 c prepared marinara or pizza sauce
1 green bell pepper, sliced 1 c shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F.
Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet.
Transfer to the baking sheet.
Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a medium nonstick skillet.
Cook over medium heat, breaking up with a spatula or spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place bell pepper, mushrooms and water in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Cover and microwave on High until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain.
Spread sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with the sausage, pepper, and mushrooms and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serves 6.
