And now I give you MEATZA. Yes; Like all the glory and wonder of pizza, but with meat as the crust. Whoa. What? It’s for real!!! And it’s going to blow your mind.
Because swimsuit season is like HERE, and because I happened to have it on hand, I used ground turkey meat as the crust of this meatza. I know for a fact you can use ground beef with the same wonderful results, so if you’re more of a beef gal (or guy), feel free to fly that way.
The base of this unconventional and oh-so-fabulous pie is topped with tangy marinara, fresh tomatoes, and gooey mozzarella before taking a trip to the oven for a good old fashioned bake down. Once it’s gooey and golden, a sprinkle of fresh basil around the top seals the deal.
Oh yes! This is meatza perfection. <3<3<3
If you love meat… if you love pizza… if you love eating 3 slices guilt free, well, psssh – go make a meatza!
