A Healthier Pizza

Who doesn't love pizza?! Well, once upon a time I remember I didn't, but I've amended my ways. I'm a classic pepperoni lover and rarely care to try different toppings. However, I have made an effort to eat a bit healthier.

Pizza Baguette

French baguette, cut in half lengthwise
Pizza or marinara sauce
Italian pork sausage, crumbled
Turkey pepperoni
Onion, diced
Green bell pepper, diced
Mushrooms, sliced thin
Mozzarella cheese, shredded (can be reduced or low fat cheese)

Assemble pizza baguette layering with sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes. This may vary depending on your oven.

I used my own marinara sauce that already had Italian pork sausage. It saves time when you have it on hand. I was really surprised how well the turkey pepperoni tasted. Don't be afraid and give it a try. Enjoy!
