Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey *see notes
  • ½ Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 small Jalapeño, chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp salt more as needed
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1½ cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded more as needed
  • ¼ cup pepperoni *see notes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450º. Chop mushrooms, jalapeño and bell peppers into bite sized pieces and set aside. Finely chop onion and mince garlic. In a large skillet, heat oil, add the ground meat. Cook for about 5 minutes, soak up any leftover grease or liquid with a paper towel. Add in seasonings, onion and garlic.
  • Once the onion starts to sweat, add in chopped mushrooms and peppers. Add seasonings and tomato paste. Mix well. Let the seasoning and tomato paste brown just a bit. Add in the marinara sauce. 
  • Step Three. Once the marinara sauce begins to simmer a bit, continue to stir for another minute. Add equal amounts of the meat sauce mixture to oven safe bowls (20-25 oz bowls). If you don't have oven safe bowls, no worries use microwave safe bowls.
  • Cover the meat mixture with Mozzarella and top with pepperonis. Put bowls on a caking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, browned and bubbling. Or, you can cover them and pop them into the microwave for 1 minute or more until the cheese is melted.
  • Let the pizza bowls cool for a minute or two and serve in the bowls, once they are cooled and enjoy. 

Notes

*ground beef, chicken or ground venison will also work.
*any red sauce will work, marinara, pasta sauce choose your favorite. 
*use turkey pepperoni to cut the fat down a bit.
