Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 1/2 pound lean ground turkey (ground beef can be used as substitute)
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 small mushrooms, chopped
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 8 slices pepperoni
Cheeses
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Others
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup keto pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200C (400F) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crustless pizza.
- Cook the turkey base: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a rubber spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes until no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasoning for flavor.
- Add cheese and toppings: Remove skillet from heat and stir grated cheddar cheese into the cooked turkey. Spread the keto pizza sauce evenly on top of the turkey and cheese mixture. Then, layer with chopped mushrooms, sliced olives, and pepperoni slices. Finally, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake the pizza: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove skillet from oven, slice the crustless pizza into four portions, and serve immediately while warm.

- You can substitute ground turkey with ground beef if preferred.
- Feel free to add or swap toppings like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for variety.
- If you don’t have a keto pizza sauce, use a low-sugar tomato sauce.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to transfer directly to the oven for baking.
