Instructions:
- Prepare the Meat Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Take the Italian turkey sausage out of its casing and press it evenly into a round pizza pan or baking sheet to form the crust. Make sure it covers the entire surface evenly.
- Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. This helps to cook the sausage and reduce excess moisture.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and carefully blot any excess grease or juice with paper towels. This step ensures the crust is firm and not too greasy.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the cooked meat crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Arrange diced red and green bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced zucchini evenly over the cheese.
- Add any other optional toppings of your choice such as black olives, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, or bacon.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the toppings for extra flavor.
- Final Bake:
- Top the pizza with a little more shredded mozzarella cheese to help bind the toppings together.
- Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese layer.
- Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Slice and serve your delicious keto meat crust pizza hot, and enjoy the flavorful combination of savory sausage crust, gooey cheese, and your favorite toppings
