Description

This Crustless Pizza recipe offers a low-carb, keto-friendly alternative to traditional pizza by using seasoned ground turkey as the base instead of dough. Topped with flavorful keto pizza sauce, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, and a blend of melted cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, this quick and easy recipe is perfect for a delicious weeknight meal that satisfies your pizza cravings without the carbs.


Ingredients

Meat Base

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

Toppings

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup keto pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 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.
  2. Cook the meat base: 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 no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasonings.
  3. Add cheese and toppings: Remove skillet from the heat and gently stir in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed with the meat. Spread the keto pizza sauce over the top, then layer on mushrooms, olives, and pepperoni. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over everything.
  4. Bake the pizza: Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef for turkey if preferred, or use a mix of both.
  • Feel free to add or swap toppings according to your taste, such as bell peppers, onions, or different types of cheese.
  • Using a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet is essential for transferring the dish to the oven safely.
  • For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cheeses and leaner cuts of meat.
  • Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave for convenience.
