Dig in to this cheesy pizza loaded with ground turkey, grilled onions, and red bell peppers for a game day appetizer all of your guests will love.

Select ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey
4 teaspoons McCormick® Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning Substitutions available McCormick® Grill Mates® Mesquite Seasoning
1 medium onion, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch wide strips Substitutions available yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch wide strips
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese, divided
1 pound fresh pizza dough or frozen dough, thawed or 1 prepared thin pizza crust (12-inch)

Sprinkle the ground turkey with 3 teaspoons of the Montreal Steak Seasoning. Brush vegetables with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add turkey and break up with a spoon, allowing it to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Grill vegetables 6 to 8 minutes or until tender-crisp. Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces. Mix cheese and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning in small bowl.
Stretch or roll pizza dough on floured baking sheet to a 12- to 14-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Coat the top of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place oiled-side down on the grill and close the lid. Grill over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or until grill marks appear on the bottom of the crust. Carefully flip crust over using tongs or spatula.
Layer crust with 1/2 of the cheese, ground turkey, vegetables and remaining cheese. Close lid. Grill 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and crust is browned. (Check pizza often to avoid burning. Rotate pizza, if necessary.) Slide pizza onto baking sheet. Slice and serve immediately.
