Loaded Cheesy Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Pizza topped with Eggplant, Red Bell Peppers, Ground Turkey and Low Fat Italian Cheese Blend
OK, I know there are about a billion "Cauliflower Crust" pizza recipes out there on the web - and I've been looking at them and reading them for YEARS! What prompted me to finally try one?

Boredom! A need for something different on my weekly meal plan.

What makes mine different than the rest? Simple: I forgot to read someone else's directions, screwed up, and found out my mistake worked! And was easier than the original directions!

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower - raw, washed, dried, and "riced" in your food processor
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend, divided
1 egg
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
1 medium eggplant
1 red bell pepper
1 lb ground turkey
2-4 cloves garlic
garlic powder
1 tsp olive oil
Italian seasonings
Himalayan pink salt
black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Crush garlic and sautee in olive oil. 
Add in ground turkey, salt and pepper to taste, and brown.
Set aside.

In large bowl combine 2 cups of riced raw cauliflower, one cup of shredded mozz or Italian cheese and egg. The mixture will NOT be wet.

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread cauliflower mixture into an oval.

Bake at 425 for approx 15 mins or until golden brown.


Top with Marinara and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic to taste.


Thinly slice eggplant and cut red pepper into strips. Layer on top of marinara.


Add leftover riced cauliflower to ground turkey and mix well. 
Layer ground turkey/cauliflower mixture over veggies.


Top with remaining cup of mozz cheese, and Parm. cheese.


Bake 15-20 mins or until cheese melts and turns golden brown.


Enjoy!!

Oh, what was my mistake? I'll never tell ;-)
