Burger Crust Protein Pizza

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb lean ground beef (used 96% lean from TJs) ground turkey or chicken works too
• 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 white onion, diced small
• Desired toppings:
  
  • 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese or classic American slices
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Dill Pickles
  • Onion, diced small
  • Ketchup
  • Yellow mustard
• Burger Sauce:
  
  • 1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 T yellow mustard

STEPS

1. Place beef, onion, and spices in a bowl and use your hands to combine.
2. Break into 2 equal parts and flatten into a pizza shape as flat as possible on a parchment-lined sheet pan. (Makes 2 pizzas)
3. Bake at 400° in the oven for 25-30 min or 400° in the air fryer for 10-15 min. Make sure it’s cooked through with a meat thermometer. Drain off any fat if there is any.
4. Turn up oven temp to 425° and add American or cheddar cheese to each pizza. Cook another 5 min or so until melty and done. You can also broil on low for a few minutes if you want it more “burned melty”. 
5. Add other burger pizza toppings and enjoy! Ketchup, mustard, and/or burger sauce, shredded lettuce, pickles, and chopped raw onion are faves.
