Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat fully before baking.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Combine Meat and Seasonings

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until everything is evenly incorporated; avoid over‑mixing.

5. Add Sauce and Toppings

   Remove the skillet from the oven. Spread the sugar‑free pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust. Top with pepperoni slices, Canadian bacon, fresh mozzarella slices, extra shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and sprinkle pizza seasoning over everything.
