Pizza #2 – Turkey Taco Pizza

This one was SO easy and SO good!

One caveat – if you are coming here for specific recipes for pizzas, then this probably isn’t the right place. Eventually, I’ll post specific recipes for the crust, because that is a little more problematic, but my attitude in the kitchen is more “throw food together ’til it turns into a meal.” My wife is the baker in the family; I am the cook.

That isn’t to say I don’t measure, because I do. However, I measure the ingredients so I can calculate the PointsPlus value of each slice of pizza. This pizza turned out to be 5 points per slice. Oh, and so good.

We started off with a basic crust, which was topped with salsa. My wife and I both like a little heat (but not too much), so we used medium. Obviously, you can use any type of salsa you want.

On top of this, we put some ground turkey, cooked with taco seasonings, on top. (I will soon post a blog post about the taco spices we use. We make our own; it’s WAY cheaper, no preservatives, and it tastes exactly the same as the store bought.) Atop this, we sprinkled only cheddar cheese. Since this was a taco pizza and not a traditional Italian pizza, we eschewed the mozzarella and went just for yellow cheese. And lastly, we put a few jalapeno slices on top. We weren’t sure how hot they would be, so we just used a few. (We could have used more. They were pretty mellow.)

The result…

Oh, my mouth is literally watering right now thinking about it! We’ll probably explore a different type of mexican pizza later this year, because this one was amazing!
