Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray both sides of flatbreads with olive oil and set aside.

  3. Step 3: Grill flatbreads directly on grates 1 – 2 minutes per side until lightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove flatbreads; spread marinara sauce, add cooked turkey, sausage slices, veggies, and mozzarella. Season with oregano.
  5. Step 5: Return topped flatbreads to grill, close lid, and cook 5 – 6 minutes until cheese melts and bottom is crisp.
  6. Step 6: Remove, cool slightly, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Turkey keeps this pizza high in protein and lower in saturated fat than traditional sausage pizzas.
  • Flatbreads crisp quickly on the grill—perfect for fast, oven-free pizza.
  • Add spinach, olives, or arugula for more fiber and micronutrients.
  • Prep toppings in advance for ultra-quick weeknight assembly.
  • Finish with balsamic glaze or chili oil for extra flavor.
