  • 1/2 cup turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese:
    • Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This will create a rich and creamy base for your pizza bowls.
  2. Mix Ingredients:

Step 2: Assemble the Bowls

  1. Divide the Base:
    • Evenly distribute the cottage cheese mixture into two oven-safe bowls. This will serve as the foundation for your pizza bowls.
  2. Add Toppings:
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the base in each bowl.
    • Layer with crumbled turkey sausage and turkey pepperoni slices.
    • For an added kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the toppings.

Step 3: Bake

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the Bowls:
    • Place the assembled bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Cool and Enjoy:
    • Remove the bowls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
    • Serve warm as a satisfying meal or hearty snack.
