Pizza Bowl

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed (hot or sweet)

½ onion, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Pinch each garlic powder and crushed red pepper

2 cups shredded cheese, preferably Italian or Pizza blend

2 cups marinara sauce

12 slices turkey pepperoni or regular pepperoni

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 4 individual-sized (2 cup) oven-proof baking dishes with cooking spray. Meanwhile, coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Crumble in turkey sausage. Add in onion and pepper and cook, breaking up the sausage until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in oregano, garlic powder and red pepper and remove from the heat.

Divide half of the sauce among the four baking dishes, spreading out in an even layer. Top with the sausage mixture, dividing among the four dishes evenly.

Top with the remaining sauce. Top with cheese and arrange pepperoni on top.

Bake until bubbling hot, about 12 to 18 minutes depending on how wide the bowls are. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
