Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour or almond flour
- 1/4 cup chopped peppers (any color)
- 1/8 cup sliced red onions
- 1/8 cup chopped black olives
- 1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup light mozzarella cheese
- 4–5 turkey pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Notes
For a vegetarian alternative, swap turkey pepperoni with additional veggies. Keep fresh vegetables dry before adding to the mixture to avoid a watery texture.
