Bariatric Cauliflower Crust Bariatric Pizza

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Remove stems and leaves from the cauliflower and roughly chop it. Place the cauliflower in a food processor or blender until it reaches a paste-like consistency.

3. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a microwave-safe bowl, cover it, and microwave for 6 minutes.

4. In the meantime, heat a medium-sized pan and cook the ground turkey until browned.

5. Once the cauliflower is done, place it in the middle of a cloth or cheesecloth. Gather the cloth around the cauliflower, twist the top together, and squeeze tightly to remove excess water, ensuring a crispier crust.

6. After draining the cauliflower, transfer it to a bowl and add garlic, egg, ½ cup cheese, and seasonings. Mix well until the ingredients form a ball.

7. Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet and use a rubber spatula to spread it into a crust shape using a rubber spatula.

8. Bake the crust in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden and firm.

9. Remove the cauliflower crust from the oven and top it with marinara or pizza sauce, your desired veggies, meat, and remaining cheese.

10. Return the pizza to the broiler for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns golden.

11. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before serving.
