Description

This Crustless Pizza recipe offers a low-carb, delicious alternative to traditional pizza by using a savory ground turkey base topped with cheeses, vegetables, and pepperoni, baked to perfection in a skillet for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey (or ground beef)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasonings

Cheese

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Other Toppings

  • 1/2 cup keto pizza sauce
  • 4 small mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olives, sliced
  • 8 slices pepperoni


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) so it’s ready for finishing the pizza once assembled.
  2. Cook the Turkey: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground turkey or beef and break it apart with a spatula, cooking for 4–5 minutes until it is no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasonings to evenly distribute the flavor.
  3. Add Cheese and Assemble: Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the grated cheddar cheese until it is well combined with the cooked meat. Spread the keto pizza sauce evenly over this mixture. Then layer the chopped mushrooms, sliced olives, and pepperoni slices on top. Finally, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over all the toppings.
  4. Bake: Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on the top, creating a delicious crustless pizza.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Slice the crustless pizza into four portions and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef or even ground chicken for the turkey based on preference.
  • Feel free to add other low-carb toppings such as bell peppers or onions.
  • Use keto-friendly pizza sauce to keep the recipe low in carbs.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
