AWESOME LOW CARB PIZZA


My family enjoys pizza! Doesn't everyone? But it's a little hard to keep the waist line from spreading when you eat it when ever you want it.  Now why did I say only the waistline? It definitely doesn't just spread there in my case!
This recipe is simple, fast, and healthy and I promise it will leave you feeling guilt free and satisfied. So save your favorite Pizzeria for a special night out, and save your self a few pounds and try this one!
I promise you will love it!

First you need to gather your ingredients:
 

 Italian seasoning, Garlic powder, Course Black Pepper, Minced Garlic, Olive Oil ,Ground Italian seasoned Turkey, Red Pepper, Yellow Pepper, Green Pepper, Onion, Large Portabella Mushrooms (I use pre sliced)
and last abut not least, Sea Salt.

 
 
 
 
Note:  The veggies can vary, roast some of these mentioned below and experiment!
 Broccoli
Zucchini
 Spinach
Red onion
Orange pepper
 Any variety of Sweet Large Garden Tomatoes

NEXT:
 
Any  favorite brand or even home made Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce, Salsa Verde or 
 Diced Green Chili's ( canned).
 I used the Salsa Verde on this pizza.
I also like to mix Tomato Pesto with the Pizza or Spaghetti sauce, but it's optional.
 


 
 
THEN:
 
A pkg. of low carb tortillas LATortilla Factory are my favorites!

 
 
AND:

A bag of any brand of  PART SKIM  Mozzarella Cheese
 


LETS GET STARTED

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees

Cut your Yellow, Red Peppers and Onions in 1/4 inch slices
Grab your pre sliced Portabella Mushrooms
Get a Cookie Sheet and spread about 1/8 cup of Olive Oil on the bottom
Place all of your Veggies on the Cookie Sheet
Sprinkle your Veggies with more Olive Oil , Sea Salt, Garlic Powder and Pepper.
Put the Cookie Sheet with the Veggies in the Oven and set the timer for 12 minutes.

 
 
 
AFTER 12 MINUTES:
 
Your veggies should look roasted.  If  they don't... set the timer for an additional couple of minutes. They should look like the photo above.
Remember....Leave your Oven On to Bake The Pizza when assembled.

In the mean time, grab a skillet and put your  Italian Ground Turkey in the pan, with about 1/8 of a Cup of Minced Garlic, 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning , 2 Teaspoons of Garlic Powder and  2 Teaspoons of Sea Salt. 
 Cook over Med to High heat until it is browned and just done.

This photo shows a little chicken too, I ran out of ground Turkey, you can add it too if you want.
Then set the meat aside.


NOW:

 It is time to assemble your pizza or pizzas.
Place Your Low Carb Tortilla or 2 or 3 or 4 you get the point, onto a baking sheet or pizza pan.
 Spread your favorite Italian Sauce on the bottom then some Green Chili Salsa or the Diced Green Chili's or even both, and place on top.
 

 
PLACE:

Your meat on top of the Sauce and Green Chili's.
 

About this much!

 
 
NEXT:
 
Place your Peppers,


 
 
 Mushrooms, and Onions on top of the Meat

 

GRAB:

Your pkg. of Mozzarella Cheese, and place a handful or two it's up to you ,on top.




NOW:
Place your assembled Pizzas on the Center Rack of your Oven and set the Timer for 12 Minutes.
Keep an eye out for them as they don't take long to bake, and oven temps can vary the cheese should be well roasted and the outside of the tortilla a little crisp.



REMOVE:

 Your Pizza or Pizzas, from the Oven and they should look like this!


This one was my husbands so I dabbed some Cholula brand hot sauce on it.

Kids love to help make these, and they absolutely can't go wrong with it, so you busy moms out there, spend a little time in the kitchen with those kids and start having them cook dinner! Enjoy!

    Those tortillas aren't bad when they're crispy for sure... Not that I'm an expert... but I am an expert eater... Doesn't that count for somethin'?
