Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce (look for a low-sugar or sugar-free option)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

- 1/2 cup sliced turkey pepperoni (or vegetarian/vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom of the baking dish. Press the dough into the dish, making sure to come up the sides about 1 inch.
3. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with half of the cheese.
4. Layer on the chopped vegetables and turkey pepperoni, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
5. Season with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your healthier version of deep-dish pizza!
This recipe is not only delicious, but it's also packed full of nutrients from the whole wheat dough, vegetables, and lean protein. By making these simple swaps and adjustments, you can enjoy your favorite comfort food without the guilt.
