Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
2 lb ground turkey or ground chicken
1 1.25 oz package low sodium taco seasoning
1 shredded lb mexican style cheese
2 package pizza dough mix
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cook ground meat until all pinkness is gone. Drain and squeeze out all of the excess juice. (Too much juice makes a mushy pizza.) Then return meat to pan and add taco mix and a little more water than directed per the mix packet. Let this simmer for 10 minutes. Make sure that the meat is evenly coated with the seasonings.
2. Prepare pizza dough according to package directions and shape into a large rectangle on a baking sheet. Spread meat mixture onto dough and top with Mexican cheese.
3. Bake at 425° for about 15 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and slide the pizza out of the pan and place directly on oven rack for the last 5 minutes. Watch that the cheese doesn't overcook.
4. Cook's Notes: Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
