Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Pizza
For 4 servings

• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups vertically sliced onion
• 1 cup green bell pepper strips
• 2 (4-ounce) links turkey Italian sausage
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (8-ounce) loaf French bread, cut in half horizontally
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese


1. Preheat oven to 450.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green bell pepper strips, and saut 6 minutes or until tender.

3. Remove casings from sausage. Add sausage to pan, and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring to crumble. Add crushed red pepper and diced tomatoes, and cook 5 minutes or until mixture thickens.

4. Spread sausage mixture evenly over cut sides of bread, and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Place bread halves on a baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Cut each pizza in half. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 piece)
