Homemade Turkey Sausage, Turkey Pepperoni and Veggie Pizza

How many times have you wanted a pizza, but decided not to because, you knew it would be so high in fat and calories, than in the end, you would feel guilty, satisfied and upset all at the same time? 

Eating healthy doesn't involve not enjoying your favorite things.  It's all about making simple choices.  I love to have pepperoni and sausage pizza and decided to treat myself and create my own. 

You can buy an already made crust if you like, be sure to look at the fat and sodium content on the package if you do.  Here is a recipe for whole wheat pizza dough from the Food Network that I like. Click here. 

Of course, I didn't use regular sausage or pepperoni, instead I used turkey sausage and turkey pepperoni.  You can find both in your local grocery stores.  I tossed on some thawed frozen spinach, broccoli, sliced tomatoes and red onions.  For the pizza sauce, you can either use a low sodium one from the store or make your own sauce.  Prego Heart Smart Traditional Sauce is a good tasting one on the market and it's certified by the American Heart Association. 

Top it off with some reduced fat cheese and toss in the oven.  If you made your dough, be sure to check the center of your pizza before you take it out.  You don't want to be fooled by the edges being done and the center is not.  If you are using fresh dough, you can bake your pizza for a just minute or two prior to loading it up with your toppings, . 

Now you can savor the good flavor of a great tasting, healthy and homemade pizza.
