Yield Makes 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces hot Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons (packed) grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped drained roasted red peppers from jar
3 tablespoons purchased pesto sauce
All purpose flour
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sauté sausages in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking into small pieces with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup cheese, red peppers and pesto; season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly sprinkle heavy large baking sheet with flour. Unfold dough on prepared sheet; cut dough in half crosswise. Stretch and/or roll each dough half into thin rectangle, approximately 7 by 10 inches. Press sausage mixture atop 1 dough rectangle, leaving generous 1/2-inch border. Top with second dough rectangle. Roll edges of dough together and press with tines of fork to seal. Cut several slits in top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake until crust is pale golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cheese. Bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer pizza to work surface. Cut into squares; serve hot.
