INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 egg beaten
1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) Grease a 9X13 inch baking dish with the olive oil, and place it in the oven while preheating.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg and bread crumbs using your hands. Using an ice cream scoop if possible, form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart in the hot baking dish. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn them over, and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until somewhat crispy on the outside. Serve with pasta or sauce or however you would like.

These oven-baked meatballs are fast and easy to prepare and are very family-friendly. You can serve them with pasta and spaghetti sauce or eat them with ketchup, as many people do. This simple dish is low in calories and has a great flavor. Also, you can (if you desire) add more seasonings to the meatballs. Ready to make this fabulous dish today, WEIGHT CLIQUERS!?!

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
6 ounces low moisture mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup no salt added canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 leaves fresh basil, torn

DIRECTIONS
1. Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to proof. Stir in salt and cold water, then stir in the flour about 1 cup at a time. When the dough is together enough to remove from the bowl, knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. Divide into two pieces, and form each one into a tight ball. Coat the dough balls with olive oil, and refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 16 hours. Be sure to use big enough container to allow the dough to rise. Remove the dough from the refrigerator one hour prior to using.
2. Preheat the oven, with a pizza stone on the lowest rack, to 550 degrees F. Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour.
3. Using one ball of dough at a time, lightly dust the dough with flour, and stretch gradually until it is about 14 inches in diameter, or about as big around as the pizza stone. Place on the floured peel. Place thin slices of mozzarella over the crust, then grind liberal amount of black pepper over it. Sprinkle with dried oregano. Randomly arrange crushed tomatoes, leaving some empty areas. Drizzle olive oil over the top.
4. With a quick back and forth jerk, make sure the dough will release from the peel easily. Place the tip of the peel at the back of the preheated pizza stone, and remove peel so that the pizza is left on the stone.
5. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust begins to brown. Remove from the oven by sliding the peel beneath the pizza. Sprinkle a few basil leaves randomly over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.

WEIGHT CLIQUERS, I knew instantly when I saw this recipe that I had to try it. I was so excited that this could possibly be one of my favorite dishes. What’s not to love about this pizza! Overall, this dish will definitely be a keeper. This brick-oven pizza is also great for a quick snack. Add this to your menu!
