Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian turkey sausage

- One green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- A pinch of garlic powder and crushed red pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions
- Preheat the oven up to 425 degrees F (220°C). Grease four individual-sized (2-cup) oven-proof baking dishes with cooking spray.
- In a large non-stick skillet, also coated with cooking spray, set over medium-high heat, crumble the turkey sausage. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook while breaking up the sausage.

- Divide half of the marinara sauce evenly among the four baking dishes, spreading it in an even layer. Top with the cooked sausage mixture, dividing it evenly among the dishes.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the sausage and top with shredded cheese. Put the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
- Bake the pizza bowls until they are bubbling hot and the cheese is nicely melted and slightly golden, which should take about 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the width of your bowls.
- Allow the pizza bowls to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb pizza bowls!
