Many thanks to Mary Jane Womack of Merced, California, for this delicious
one-dish dinner. A real family pleaser, the ground turkey “crust” is filled
with pizza-flavored vegetables and cheese.
Combine turkey, crumbs, 1/4 cup of the Pace Picante Sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of
the oregano and 2 cloves garlic in medium bowl; mix well. Press onto bottom
and sides of 9″ pie plate. Bake at 350’F. 20 minutes. While shell is
baking, cook vegetables and remaining garlic in oil in 10″ skillet 5
minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup Pace Picante
Sauce, tomato paste, olives and remaining 3/4 teaspoon oregano. Simmer 5
minutes or until thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese; spoon into baked
shell. Top with mozzarella cheese; return to oven 10 minutes or until
cheese is melted. Serve with additional Pace Picante Sauce.
