4 servings
For the dough
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the bowl
For the topping
- ¾ lb ground turkey
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp fennel seeds
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
For serving
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and 1 tbsp olive oil, then stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–6 minutes, until the dough is smooth and springs back when poked. Shape into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise at room temperature for 45–60 minutes, until roughly doubled in size.
