Delicious! I used hot turkey sausage instead of sweet and Pillsbury pizza dough instead of homemade, so it wasn't exact, but it was still great!

Very good, will make again, I too did not use 1/4 cup of the cheese, very filling, I used regular pork sausage instead of turkey, which I bought by mistake. Delish!

My husband and I loved this recipe and will make again! We did not even use the full 1/4 cup of cheese. The veggies and sausage gave the pizza amazing flavors on its own. This will join our "Go To" recipe rotation.

The topping for this pizza is amazing! I would make it and eat it out of a bowl it is just that good. I can't rave enough about it. It was easy, absolutely delicious, and impressed everyone. I did not make the pizza dough, but instead used a whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's which I would not use again.

Awesome! I'm not a big fan of sausage pizza, but this had great spice and flavor. I did it on a whole wheat crust. Yum!
