Turkey Style Pizza

Marsha D.'s Note:

This is a recipe that I came up with using ground turkey meat that I had on hand. I also wanted to try out my "very first" pizza stone that I had brought. DH and I both really loved the out come of this pizza. We loved it! and I hope you enjoy it too. I used The World's Best Bread Machine Pizza Dough Recipe for the pizza dough.
