Move over, cauliflower crust! This homemade pizza recipe is made with an herby almond flour crust and topped with peppers, onions, and seasoned turkey for a tasty gluten-free pie.
To help the ingredients of this pizza shine, we nixed the “cheese” in all its forms. Cashew cheese or cauliflower cheese are common in other dairy-free pizza recipes, but we found that it takes away from the healthier ingredients – and usually doesn’t add much in the flavor department anyway!
Since pizza is one of those foods that doesn’t get healthier if you simply “Paleo-ify” it, this recipe is automatically categorized as PaleoFLEX™. That means that you can still enjoy this meal along with other TRUEPALEO™ foods as long as you limit them to about 35% of your meals (see How to Practice The Paleo Diet for more on how to best work PaleoFLEX meals into your busy schedule.) Plus, a little added salt is allowed in PaleoFLEX, so we mixed a bit into the dough for a better tasting crust.

Start by making the almond flour crust. Mix arrowroot starch with almond flour, coconut flour, seasonings and salt. Separately, whisk olive oil, water, and apple cider vinegar together, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Add a whisked egg and mix until a dough forms. You may need to add more coconut flour if the dough is too sticky.
Use your hands to turn the dough out onto a parchment-lined pan, then roll it out into a 10-inch disc. Bake your crust until just golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: brown the turkey, then sauté the peppers and onions. You can always add more veggies, if you like!
Instead of a tomato sauce, we added freshly chopped tomatoes right to the peppers and onions before they’re done cooking. Be sure to remove the extra liquid and seeds before adding your tomatoes, so your pizza doesn’t get soggy!
To assemble, spread the veggies out over the cooked crust, then top with the browned turkey. Bake another 10 minutes to get your pizza bubbly hot, then garnish with fresh basil, slice it up, and serve!

Tip: To save time, you can make the toppings the day before. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, then add to the cooked crust right before baking again!
