being wheat-free, dairy-free, one of the things i miss MOST is pizza. today, i was feeling under the weather with a lingering cold and i knew that something hot and full of flavor would do the trick, at least temporarily, to make me feel better. :) luckily, the last time i was at whole foods, i had snagged some udi's gluten-free pizza crusts, which are heavenly. a quick trip to the nearby store got me some herbed goat cheese, simple marinara sauce, ground turkey, baby bella mushrooms and when i got home i threw in some basil from the garden and green olives from the fridge.
don't ask me why i chose ground turkey, but it seemed like a nice medium between chicken and pepperoni. i seasoned it with white pepper, chili powder, sea salt and shallots. after removing it from the pan, i let the mushrooms quickly cook in it's delicious pan flavor!
i piled everything carefully onto the crust and stuck it in my toaster over for about 20 minutes and it produced the most wonderful, fantastic pizza i have had in years! even dating back to the days when i could eat real pizza, this one won over a lot of those. and it DID make me feel better! can't wait to eat the leftovers...like, now! :)
