This is pretty much the toppings of a pizza, baked in a casserole dish. It contained -
1 lb ground turkey sausage
1 jar No sugar added Ragu Light Spaghetti Sauce (with lots of added oregano to make it taste like pizza sauce!)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
turkey pepperoni - to taste
1/2 small diced onion
**These cheese quantities are estimates. My crowd likes LOTS of cheese, so you can adjust it to suit your fancy. I mean taste buds. You can also add mushrooms, peppers, whatever your family likes on a pizza. I've also made this with eggs mixed in with the meat to form a 'base' ...more like a traditional pizza. However, since Mr. Three is allergic to eggs, I can't do that anymore.
Cook your ground turkey and onion together, drain if needed. Place a little "spizza" sauce on the bottom of your casserole dish (I used a 9x13), dump your turkey/onion on top, add the rest of your sauce, top with cheese, place pepperoni on top. Bake until golden brown and bubbly.
Toasted bread for the kids and I ...
so we could scoop up our toppings!
Served with a salad. Nothing exciting, but tasty none the less. And something everyone will eat, which is always a miraculous feat around here!
Y'all have any egg free, nut free, carb free meals you enjoy? hahaha
This still looks yummy. You have a lot of dietary restrictions to keep up with!!
ReplyDeleteI have become a carbaholic since starting this blogging adventure and it needs to stop. I am going back to work after a year and have nothing to wear. Ugggh! This looks delicious and it's just the sort of thing that I need to be eating too. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I've made the mini pizzas before using french bread slices, so it looks pretty similar.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you call this, it looks unbelievably good!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great alternative to our "Friday pizza nights", looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy husband used to have a lot of trouble digesting breads. He created something along this line except he cooked it on the stovetop, not the oven, and he mixed the toppings in it. He always called it "pizza in a cup" (taken from the movie "The Jerk").
ReplyDeleteI did something similar today, except I melted the cheese (in a cup!) in the microwave. I'm trying to low carb it right now...not easy!
DeleteThis looks amazing. I'm going to share this with my mother who also is diabetic and my stepfather is on a low carb diet. How awesome, a meal they will both love. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting!
DeleteThank you for posting this recipe. I have started eating low carb again recently. I am rubbish at cooking, nothing ever comes out correctly and when looking through recipes get immediately put off if the list of ingredients is more than about 5 LOL. This recipe is ideal for me, easy simple and looks damn good. Will let u know how i get on. Just going to look through the rest of your site now :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'm with ya, I don't care for a long ingredient list...give me short and simple!
DeleteTried this recipe tonight and failed miserably. It didn't keep its shape, didn't taste at all like pizza, and was more grease than food. I really don't see how this could possibly be a meal, or anything more than a glorified sauce for pasta. Not sure what I did wrong, but it's safe to say I won't be making this again.
ReplyDeleteOne of my good friends does the same as your husband (controlled diabetes through diet) so whenever she comes over for dinner, we always try new things. So far our two favorites are:

and

A few tweaks here and there (like adding garlic to the "mac" and cheese) or doing a caprise style topping on the "pizza" make it really awesome!
