½ lb. lean ground beef or turkey
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 can refrigerated pizza crust
1/3 cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
½ cup shredded mozzarella
¼ tsp. Italian seasoning
¼ cup red or green bell peppers, chopped (optional)
2 T. black olives, sliced (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brown beef or turkey over medium-high heat, until cooked through. While the meat browns, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Set meat aside.
Unroll dough and place on a greased cookie sheet. Starting at the center, press dough into a 15x11 rectangle. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving 2 inches on the long sides and ½ an inch of short sides. Spoon meat lengthwise down the center, forming a 3-inch wide strip. Top with cheese, Italian seasoning, and optional vegetables. Fold the long sides of the dough towards the center and press the edges to seal.
