Instructions
Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray both sides of flatbreads with olive oil and set aside.
Step 2: In a skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat 5 – 6 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Grill flatbreads directly on grates 1 – 2 minutes per side until lightly crisp.
Step 4: Remove flatbreads; spread marinara sauce, add cooked turkey, sausage slices, veggies, and mozzarella. Season with oregano.
Step 5: Return topped flatbreads to grill, close lid, and cook 5 – 6 minutes until cheese melts and bottom is crisp.
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.
