• 250 mL (1 cup) shredded part skim mozzarella

• 30 mL (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

1. Place tortillas on large baking sheet in a single layer; set aside.

2. In a small bowl, stir together pasta sauce, herb seasoning and garlic. Spread evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with red pepper, mushrooms and turkey. Top with mozzarella.

Tips

• Little chefs love making their own pizza. Chances are, because they've made it, they'll eat it.

• Brainstorm ideas for toppings. Zucchini, corn, pineapple, the sky's the limit.

• Make extra pizza to have for lunch the next day.

• Want to make this recipe vegetarian? Just leave out the turkey.

• Choose healthy ingredients and try using less of the ingredients that are high in added sodium, sugars or saturated fat. Adding salt or sugars directly to your recipe? Remember, a little often goes a long way.
