I (Dawn) included the (sausage?) in the title because I personally do not eat sausage; I just add the ingredients I prefer (mostly veggies). However, the recipe started out with the name Ultimate Sausage Pizza so I felt I should leave it in. This recipe comes from the cookbook (and short-lived T.V. show) Cook Yourself Thin. Can I tell you that healthy cooking never tasted so good??? I have made this pizza and LOVE IT! I should add that this recipe is a serving for 1 adult or 2 kids... and that when you've prepared your dough you will have enough to make a couple pizzas so adjust the toppings as needed and you can make more than one pizza :)
Ultimate Sausage Pizza serves 1 475 calories
1
teaspoon olive oil
1/4 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato sauce (they used organic)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch pepper
1 link precooked chicken basil sausage
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1/2 red bell pepper or jarred roasted red pepper (you can get a this @ Dollar Tree for $1)
4 ounces prepared pizza dough (I use the cheap pizza dough mix usually found in the baking aisle or rice & pasta aisle)
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped scallion/green onion, white and green parts
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/4 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato sauce (they used organic)
1/8 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat the
oven to 450 degrees.
2. For the tomato sauce, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Preheat a gas grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken basil sausage and bell pepper on the grill. Grill the sausage until cooked through, about 2 minutes each side; set aside. Continue grilling the pepper, turning, until the skin is blackened, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Place pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, stem and seed the pepper; cut or tear half the pepper into large dice, reserving the other half of the roasted pepper for another dish. When chicken sausage is done, slice thinly and set aside.

5. Spray an
aluminum pizza pan with nonfat cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, use
your hands to stretch the pizza dough into a thin round, about 8 inches. Place
it in the prepared pan. Spread the dough with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with
half of the cheese. Arrange the sliced chicken sausage on top, and scatter the
pepper over. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
6. Bake until the edges are crisp and lightly browned, and the cheese is melted, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with scallions and basil, if using. Let pizza stand about 2 to 3 minutes before eating.
