Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the recipe itself.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the crust

First, let’s make the crust. You can use any gluten-free crust of your choice or a homemade one. Roll out the pizza dough until it forms a 9-inch circle on a baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2: Cook turkey slices

In a skillet over medium heat, cook 3 slices of Boar’s Head Jerk Turkey until they are heated through and nicely browned on both sides. Once done, remove from the heat and set them aside.

Step 3: Prepare the toppings

Dice 1/2 cup of sweet onion and slice 1/2 cup of green pepper. On another pan over medium heat, add a slice of butter and sauté the diced onions and sliced green peppers until they become softened.

Step 4: Add pizza ingredients

Spread 1 tablespoon of jerk sauce evenly over the pizza crust. Place the cooked turkey slices over it, followed by sautéed onions and green peppers. Then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded Boar’s Head Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapeno, and top it off with three scrambled eggs that were cooked in advance.

Step 5: Bake in the Oven

Place your pizza in your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Tips

  • If you need to speed up the process or want more protein, you can replace jerk turkey slices with turkey sausage or bacon.
  • For a healthier version, you can replace shredded cheese with mozzarella cheese.
  • To make it vegetarian-friendly, you could substitute turkey with kale or any other green vegetable.
  • You can serve this delicious jerk turkey breakfast pizza with hash browns or tater tots.
  • You can also add a nice salad or green smoothie on the side to balance out the textures and flavors.

Ah, the endless possibilities of substitutions and variations. It’s the spice of life and the key to making every dish a unique experience. I mean, why settle for plain old pizza when you can add a personal twist to it? Let’s dive into how we can transform this gluten-free jerk turkey breakfast pizza recipe.

First up, let’s talk cheese. If you’re not a fan of monterey jack cheese or jalapeno, feel free to swap it with your favorite type of cheese. Whether it be mozzarella, cheddar, feta or even some blue cheese crumbles, go wild and choose which one best suits your taste buds.

For the vegetables, the sweet onion and green pepper can be switched out for other options such as mushrooms, spinach, or kale. Personally, I love adding some kale to all my dishes since it’s low in calories yet packed with nutrients.

And let’s not forget about the jerk sauce! If you find that Jamaican jerk seasoning is too spicy for your liking or you just don’t have any on hand, try swapping it out for your favorite spice blend or even just some simple salt and pepper.

Can’t find gluten-free pizza crust? No worries! You can always make your own homemade pizza dough using gluten-free flour or swap out the crust altogether for some tater tots or a chicken crust for a keto-friendly option.

Feeling like switching up the protein? Swap out the turkey slices for turkey sausage, bacon or even some vegetarian options like mushroom or chickpeas.

The possibilities are truly endless with this recipe. Don’t be afraid to play around with it and create your own unique version that suits your palate. Just remember to use the same amount of ingredients listed in this recipe and adjust cooking times accordingly. Happy experimenting!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

As any busy person knows, the key to a smooth morning routine is prepping ahead of time. That’s why I recommend making this gluten-free jerk turkey breakfast pizza in advance. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two weeks.

To make ahead, simply follow the recipe instructions and allow the pizza to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze.

When you’re ready to eat your pizza, reheat it in a 350°F oven until heated through. If stored in the refrigerator, it should take about 10-15 minutes to heat up. If frozen, plan on adding an additional 10-15 minutes of cook time.

This breakfast pizza can also be reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast on-the-go. To do so, microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.

I have also found that this pizza is delicious cold and can be enjoyed right out of the refrigerator for those who don’t have time to reheat their food in the morning rush.

No matter how you decide to store and reheat your gluten-free jerk turkey breakfast pizza, it’s sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!

Tips for Perfect Results

To ensure the perfect outcome of your Gluten Free Jerk Turkey Breakfast Pizza, here are some tips to consider.

Firstly, when it comes to the crust, it is crucial not to overwork the dough. Overworked dough can become tough and chewy, and no one wants that! Be gentle and careful when mixing the dry ingredients with the wet.

Secondly, it’s wise to let the dough rest for a while before rolling it out because this will help develop its elasticity. This will make it easy to stretch without tearing or breaking apart.

Thirdly, when pre-baking the crust for a few minutes before adding the toppings, make sure to poke it with a fork several times. This process prevents air pockets from forming underneath the crust, which can cause it to rise in some spots and deflate in others.

Fourthly, use high-quality ingredients where possible. The flavor of this breakfast pizza recipe relies on these ingredients’ quality in combination with each other – especially the jerk sauce and sliced turkey. Try using Boar’s Head Jerk Turkey for an authentic Jamaican touch.

Fifthly, don’t be afraid to get creative with your substitutions and variations. This recipe lends itself well to many alterations- take advantage of that! Try swapping the green pepper for sautéed kale or diced sweet potato on top of your breakfast pizza.

Lastly, always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking temperature throughout. And keep an eye on your pizza – timing can vary depending on ovens – you don’t want burnt edges!

With these tips, you’re on your way to making an awesome gluten-free breakfast pizza every time!

Bottom Line

“All in all, the Gluten-Free Jerk Turkey Breakfast Pizza Recipe is a must-try for those who love pizza for breakfast or want to sneak in some extra protein to start their day off right.
