Here is a recipe that is good for dinner and if you make enough, it can also help with lunches the next day!
Ingredients:
- 4 small whole grain flour tortillas
- 60 mL (¼ cup) pasta sauce
- 5 mL (1 tsp) Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
- 175 mL (¾ cup) chopped fresh mushrooms
- 60 mL (¼ cup) chopped lean roast turkey
- 250 mL (1 cup) shredded part skim mozzarella
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley, optional
Directions:
- Place tortillas on large baking sheet in a single layer; set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together pasta sauce, herb seasoning and garlic. Spread evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with red pepper, mushrooms and turkey. Top with mozzarella.
- Bake in preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for about 8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley before serving, if using.
Tips:
- Little chefs love making their own pizza. Chances are, because they’ve made it, they’ll eat it.
- Brainstorm ideas for toppings. Zucchini, corn, pineapple, the sky’s the limit.
- Make extra pizza to have for lunch the next day.
- Want to make this recipe vegetarian? Just leave out the turkey.
- Choose healthy ingredients and try using less of the ingredients that are high in added sodium, sugars or saturated fat. Adding salt or sugars directly to your recipe? Remember, a little often goes a long way.
