How to Make Stuffed Texas Toast Pizza

Ready? Let’s bake! Watch the process in the video by clicking play or read through the instructions below:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Meanwhile, brown your ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat, about 6-8 minutes, until fully cooked.
  3. Next, grab a spoon and gently flatten the center of each slice of Texas toast. This creates a little well for all your toppings.
  4. Then, spoon marinara sauce right into that center.
  5. After that, add a spoonful of your cooked turkey to each piece.
  6. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Top with pepperoni slices.
  8. Finally, place everything on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and gets that perfect toasty edge.
  9. Once it’s out of the oven, drizzle each slice with hot honey for a sweet and spicy finish.

And that’s literally it! Less than 20 minutes from start to finish, you know?

Where to Serve This Cheesy Goodness

Honestly, it’s a crowd-pleaser no matter the occasion.

Can You Store or Make This Ahead?

Yes, friend, you absolutely can! If you’ve got leftovers, just pop them in an airtight container and stick them in the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for about 3 days.

To reheat, throw them back in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid the microwave if you can, since it tends to make the toast a little soggy.

You can also prep the turkey ahead of time and store it in the fridge, so all you have to do is assemble and bake when dinner time rolls around. Such a time-saver on busy nights!

Common Questions About Stuffed Texas Toast Pizza

Can I use regular bread instead of Texas toast?
You can, but the thick texas toast holds up so much better with all that sauce and cheese. It really makes a difference.

Does this recipe work for kids’ lunches?
Definitely! Just let it cool, then pack a slice for an easy, fun lunch they’ll actually be excited about.

Can I freeze stuffed Texas toast pizza?
You can freeze it before baking. Just wrap each piece well, then bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.

What dipping sauce goes well with this?
Extra marinara or even ranch is always a hit in my house!
