Garlic, Sausage & Kale Naan Pizzas

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 12 ounces 93%-lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 8 cups lightly packed prechopped kale or baby kale
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 2 8-inch whole-grain naan breads or whole-wheat pitas
  • 3/4 cup mini mozzarella balls, such as mozzarella “pearls”

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle, add turkey, fennel seeds, paprika and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until it is almost cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Add kale, vinegar and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the kale is wilted and the turkey is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

  3. Place naan (or pitas) on a large baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Top with equal portions of the turkey mixture and mozzarella.

  4. Broil until the cheese is melted and the edges are starting to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut in half.
