Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the green bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until slightly softened.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomato paste with 2 tablespoons of water, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to make a quick sauce.
4. Cut the pre-cooked turkey meatballs in half (or quarters if large) and toss them in the tomato sauce until well coated.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place the flatbreads on the sheet and top each with half of the roasted peppers and onions.
6. Distribute the sauced meatballs evenly over the flatbreads. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the flatbreads are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use fresh turkey meatballs instead of pre-cooked?

Yes, but you’ll need to cook them fully before adding to the flatbreads. Brown them in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, then proceed with the recipe.

What can I use instead of flatbreads?

You can substitute with naan, pita bread or even pizza dough rolled thin. Adjust baking time as needed.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
