Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground turkey or beef
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup marinara sauce (low-carb)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the pizza bowls.
- Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey or beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep it lean.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked meat with the diced zucchini, diced red bell pepper, and fresh spinach thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Add marinara sauce: Pour in the low-carb marinara sauce and stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well coated with the sauce.
- Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base of your pizza bowls.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture for a cheesy crust.
- Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to cook through and melt the cheese.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm for a satisfying low-carb meal.
