Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 pound JENNIE-O® All Natural Turkey Sausage
  • All-purpose flour for dusting
  • One 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 24 pepperoni slices
  • 9 slices mozzarella

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  3. Stir in the oregano, garlic and red and yellow peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
  5. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the sausage and cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the sausage meat into small bits, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide.
  9. Place one of the puff pastry pieces on the lined baking sheet; set aside the other piece.
  10. Whisk the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water.
  11. Sprinkle 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese over the puff pastry sheet on the baking sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the pastry.
  12. Continue layering with half the caramelized onions and peppers, sausage and pepperoni; finish with half the mozzarella slices.
  13. Brush the border of the puff pastry with the egg wash, lay the remaining puff pastry pieces over top and use a fork to crimp the edges.
  14. Using a sharp paring knife, cut three 1 1/2-inch vents in the top.
  15. Put the pie into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes before cooking.
  16. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
  17. Brush the pie with the egg wash.
  18. Bake on the bottom rack until the pastry is nicely browned, about 20 minutes.

Notes

You don't need to use two cast iron skillets - any large kitchen skillets will work. I just happen to be obsessed with cast iron right now.
Also, if you want a spicier pizza, try JENNIE-O® Hot All Natural* Turkey Sausage. Or JENNIE-O® Italian Style Turkey Sausage or JENNIE-O® Chorizo Seasonings Turkey Sausage would also be equally delicious!
