Heirloom Tomato & Italian Turkey Sausage Pizzettes

While the colorful tomatoes and rich sauces look bright and beautiful to the eye, they are nothing compared to the smell of this dish as it bakes in the oven. The aromas smell like that of a classic Italian restaurant. It's incredible! However, none of that is to be outdone by the flavors that work together to create this perfect Italian recipe.

So without further ado, here's your fantastic recipe!

Heirloom Tomato & Italian Turkey Sausage Pizzettes

Makes 3-4 servings
Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 Tbsp. avocado oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground dark turkey
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp cracked pepper
• ½ - 1 cup prepared tomato pizza sauce
• 2-3 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced  thick
• Aged Balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped  

Equipment: 

• 9-inch cast iron skillet or a 9-inch baking dish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. 
2. Cut off the stem of the spaghetti squash, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a large spoon. Place face-down right on the oven rack. Bake for 30 minutes, or you can pierce the skin with a fork.
3. Grease a seasoned 9-inch cast iron skillet or a 9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
4. Once spaghetti squash is cooled, use a fork to remove into a medium bowl, making “noodles.” Add egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Add to prepared cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Bake for 13-18 minutes, or until golden-brown.
5. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add fennel seeds & cook a minute until toasty & fragrant. Add olive oil and let heat about 30 seconds before adding garlic, ground turkey, onion powder, salt & pepper. Cook, stirring, until turkey is browned & crumbled.
6. Top baked spaghetti squash crust with pizza sauce, turkey sausage, & heirloom tomatoes. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tomatoes are roasted.
7. Top with a drizzle of balsamic & fresh basil.
