Bubble Pizza

Little one’s day care provider gave me a recipe for Pedialyte about a month ago. Little one hadn’t been feeling his best and I was buying lots of Pedialyte. For all those mommies out there, you know this stuff isn’t cheap. A whole bottle is the equivalent of a fancy drink at Starbucks. I haven’t tried the recipe yet as little one was better by the time I got my hands on it. I think I’ll show the recipe to little one’s doctor next time we see him and get his ok before I try to play mommy pharmacist.

Anyway…attached to the Pedialyte recipe was another recipe for Bubble Pizza (same idea as the Bubble Up Pizza). This recipe was different enough from the first one I tried that I decided that I would give it a go. I picked a nice low-key Friday night to try this recipe. I decided I really like this version better.  While the first version was fun and different, this version is much more unique and kid friendly. The sauce and ground turkey is mixed in with the crust!

I liked the way the pizza became a type of pull-apart bread. Stirring the biscuits was a little tough because they are sticky but if you use enough sauce the stirring is a little easier. You can use whatever pizza toppings you want. I used some ground turkey and pepperoni. I would love to try adding more veggies (mushrooms!) in the future.  I liked our pizza a little extra saucy so I added the whole jar but add the amount of sauce you feel is best for you. Oh – if you haven’t tried turkey pepperoni I highly recommend it! It has a great pepperoni taste but it’s not as greasy for fat laden as the type that typically graces pizzas. It does cost a little bit more but I feel that it’s totally worth it.

Enjoy!
¾ lb. ground turkey
½ tsp. Italian seasoning
1 jar pizza sauce
2 cans refrigerated biscuits (small cans)

Brown ground turkey and season with Italian seasoning. Heat oven to 350.

Pull apart biscuits and cut into pieces. Put biscuit pieces into a greased casserole pan. Add pizza sauce and turkey and slowly mix together.

Bake for 30 minutes. Take out of oven and top with cheeses and pepperoni. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
