Super Quick And Easy Southwestern Pizza!

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 (1 lb) whole wheat pizza dough (i get mine from trader joe's)
• 1/2 cup organic spaghetti sauce (any sauce of your choice)
• 1/2 lb ground turkey (cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning)
• 1/2 cup organic black beans (tj's)
• 1/4 cup frozen corn (i use organic frozen corn from tj's)
• 1/4 cup frozen bell peppers (red, green, and yellow...from tj's again)
• 1 -2 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese (use what you have or what you prefer.)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450 degrees (or according to your dough directions).
• 2 follow directions for dough and spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet (the parchment helps avoid sticking). i use a 9x15 baking sheet because it gives a great edge/lip for the crust, and holds all the yummy toppings on the pizza with no spills, but whatever you have will be fine. i'm sure you could do this on a stone, as well.
• 3 once dough is prepared, bake dough in the oven for 5-8 minutes (or until dough is starting to brown). this helps make sure everything cooks through :).
• 4 remove dough from the oven, and spread a thin layer of sauce on the pizza, leaving 1/2 of an inch space all around for crust allowance.
• 5 evenly spread a layer of cooked ground turkey meat (seasoned with taco seasoning), frozen veggies and black beans. *also, you could cook the veggies and beans in with the meat to add extra flavor!
• 6 top with as much shredded cheese as you like.
• 7 place pizza in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until bottom and crust are golden brown, and cheese is melted. *time may vary depending on your oven and type of dough you use. keep a watchful eye so it doesn't over bake =).
• 8 other yummy toppings for this pizza are: spinach, mushrooms, olives, goat cheese (so good!), tomatoes -- the possibilities are endless, really. don't be afraid to add new things to this recipe. it's pizza! everyone loves pizza, right?!
• 9 enjoy!
