This savory pizza offers a comforting fusion of classic breakfast flavors on a crisp, golden crust. A creamy, rich white gravy serves as the base, generously topped with browned, seasoned ground turkey sausage and a blend of melted cheeses. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a touch of color and herbaceous freshness, creating a satisfying dish that is both familiar and uniquely delightful. The textures combine a tender crust, smooth gravy, and savory sausage for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a pizza pan or a piece of parchment paper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
  4. In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the prepared gravy evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the cooked turkey sausage over the gravy, then top with the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  8. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra browning on the cheese.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone or baking steel in the oven.

Adjust the gravy consistency by adding more milk if it’s too thick, or cooking longer if it’s too thin.

Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy for a subtle kick.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
