Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it fully preheat while you prepare the crust.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

2. Combine Crust Ingredients

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Mix with clean hands (wear gloves if preferred) until evenly incorporated, about 2–3 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

3. Form and Roll the Crust

   Place the meat mixture between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out to a thin, ¼‑inch thickness that will fit a standard cookie sheet. Peel off the top parchment sheet.

   Time: PT5M

4. Bake the Turkey Crust

   Transfer the parchment‑lined crust to the cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the meat is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

   Time: PT25M

   Temperature: 375°F

5. Sauté Vegetables

   While the crust bakes, heat a skillet over medium‑high heat, add a drizzle of oil, and sauté the sliced red, yellow, and orange bell peppers plus the sliced mushrooms until tender‑crisp, about 8‑10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

   Time: PT10M

6. Prepare Homemade Ranch

   In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried dill, 1 tsp dried chives, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

7. Assemble the Pizza

   Remove the baked crust from the oven. Spread about half of the ranch sauce (≈½ cup) evenly over the crust. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella, then distribute the sautéed vegetables, and finish with the remaining mozzarella.

   Time: PT5M

8. Broil Until Golden

   Switch the oven to the broil setting. Place the pizza back in the oven, broiling for 5‑7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: Broil

9. Rest and Serve

   Remove the pizza, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve. Reserve any remaining ranch sauce for dipping.

   Time: PT2M
