Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Ground Chicken or Turkey – lean, mild, and perfect for building a cheesy base. You can swap in beef, pork, or lamb.
  • Garlic + Italian seasoning – a must for flavor since turkey is mellow on its own.
  • Cheddar cheese – mixed into the meat to keep it moist and super cheesy.
  • Mozzarella – melted on top to give that classic stretchy pizza vibe.
  • Sugar-free pizza sauce – or homemade keto sauce to keep carbs low.
  • Toppings of choice – like pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms… customize it your way!

How to Make It

Step 1 — Cook the base
Heat a little olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the ground turkey, break it up with a spatula, and cook 5–6 minutes until no longer pink.

Step 2 — Mix in cheese
Remove from heat and stir cheddar into the cooked meat until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3 — Build your pizza
Press the cheesy meat mixture flat into the skillet. Spread on pizza sauce, scatter your toppings, and finish with a blanket of mozzarella.

Step 4 — Bake
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it sit a minute before slicing into wedges.


Tips + Variations

  • Don’t skip the cheddar in the base — it prevents the meat layer from drying out.
  • Want a true crust? Make a fathead dough base first—still low-carb!
  • Toppings are totally customizable. Just know that sweets (like pineapple) or sausage can bump up carbs.

Storing + Reheating

Reheat: Oven gives the best crisp edges; microwave works in a pinch.

Fridge: Keep leftovers covered up to 5 days.

Freezer: Store cooled slices airtight up to 6 months (great for meal prep!).
