Nothing is more real than the struggle to find a healthy alternative when all you want is pizza with a million toppings. I find myself struggling with this more times than I’d like to admit because there’s very few things I like more than a Friday night pizza. Don’t get me wrong, picking up a small Lou Malnatis for hubs and I after a long week of work will always be an occasional happening, but what happens when you have a taste for delivery pizza more times than not? How do you eliminate all the carbs and loads of extra cheese but still feel like you’re eating your favorite pie? These little Flatout Pizzadillas.
This pseudo pizza/quesadilla recipe is so simple I hesitate to actually call it a recipe. Like most of the meals I have shared with you, you can whip these up in no time and it makes for good lunches the next day. I often change up what ingredients/toppings I add each time depending on what we have a taste for that night. These little triangles are fun to eat and fun to make. Serve with a side Caesar or garden salad and your meal is guaranteed to satisfy even the most intense pizza craving!
I really enjoy making flatbreads and wraps with the various flavors of Flatout Bread because they are low carb but so delicious. There are an abundant amount of recipes on their website. They even have a section dedicated to other Weight Watcher friendly recipes!
Makes 2 servings (2 triangles per serving) – 10 WW SPs per Serving
Ingredients:
- 2 Light Original Flatouts
- 4 tbs pizza sauce
- 1 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 pound ground Italian turkey sausage
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1/2 large green pepper, diced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
-Cook ground turkey over medium heat in a large skillet until it starts to brown. Spoon meat in a bowl and set aside.
-Reduce heat to low-medium and place one Flatout in the skillet
-Spread 2 tbs of the pizza sauce evenly on the Flatout. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese on one side of the Flatout. Add 1/2 of the ground turkey sausage, 1/2 of the diced onions, and 1/2 of the diced peppers on top of the first layer of cheese. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of the cheese and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning on top.
-Fold one side of your Flatout over with a spatula to create a pocket or a ‘quesadilla’. Cook each side for 1 minute. Cut in half with a pizza cutter and serve!
