Are you craving pizza but don't want to ruin your healthy streak?

My weakness when it comes to food is pizza. I absolutely LOVE it. However, I only let myself splurge on pizza occasionally...so during that in between time I make this to fix my craving & it is delicious & insanely easy!

You are going to use Hormel's Turkey Pepperoni that has 70% less fat and all the pepperoni-liciousness (not a real word, don't bother looking it up) of real pepperoni! You're thinking... Made from turkey? With zero carbs? Can this be true? It can! And is! Now you can enjoy all the flavor and satisfaction of pepperoni, without the guilt...or that icky greasy fatty film that the regular stuff leaves behind on your poor, defenseless tongue...ewww!

This is the EASY pizza, if you want to make more of an impression see the veggie pizza recipe below:)

Ingredients:
whole wheat tortilla
your favorite tomato sauce
TURKEY pepperoni's
reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese or cheddar (or a little of both)

If you like jalapeno's add them to your pizza. Or, ANY grilled vegetable of choice. Just make sure to cook the veggies in the skillet before baking in the oven with the pizza!

Directions:
Turn oven to 350
Spread 2 Tbsp of tomato sauce on your tortilla (or your preferred amount)
Disperse TURKEY pepperoni's onto pizza
If you chose your fav veggie, add these now
Add 2 small fists full of cheese
Bake pizza at 350 for 10-12 minutes, depending on how much crunch you're looking for.
