Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (about 18x13 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, beaten egg, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the turkey mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture evenly across the pan, creating a uniform layer about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure to press firmly so it holds together.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the turkey base is set and lightly golden around the edges.
- While the base bakes, prepare your toppings. Slice the red onion and zucchini thinly, chop the sun-dried tomatoes and herbs, and slice the olives.
- Remove the turkey base from oven and evenly distribute the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, red onion, and zucchini slices over the surface.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Return to oven for another 8-10 minutes, until vegetables are slightly softened and zucchini is tender.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh basil and oregano. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
This meatza keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats nicely in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. You can customize the toppings based on what you have – cherry tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, or artichoke hearts all work wonderfully. For a spicier version, add some sliced jalapeños with the other vegetables.
