Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough:
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Turkey Sausage:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces turkey sausage (casings removed)
Broccoli Rabe Topping:
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe (trimmed and chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- Cook the Turkey Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Cook the turkey sausage until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Sauté the Broccoli Rabe: In the same skillet, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Add broccoli rabe and sauté until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the Pizza: Stretch or roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Top with mozzarella, cooked sausage, broccoli rabe, and Parmesan.
- Bake: Transfer the pizza to a preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
- Blanching the broccoli rabe briefly before sautéing can help reduce bitterness.
- You can swap broccoli rabe with broccolini or spinach for a different flavor profile.
