made with Pre-Cooked Turkey Meatballs
- Eggs
- Wheat
- Sesame
- Milk
There are few combos more satisfying in this world than crunchy crust + gooey cheese + saucy meatballs. Here, we channel the flavor combo into some seriously epic flatbreads that are ready in just 30 minutes from start to finish. Our secret? The ultimate weeknight meatball hack: pre-cooked turkey meatballs, which we toss in an herby tomato sauce. They’re layered over the crusts with mozzarella and roasted pepper and onion, then baked until they reach crispy-melty-saucy perfection. Can your ’za do that? Yeah, we didn’t think so.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges.
• Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss bell pepper and onion on prepared sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until veggies are almost tender, 8-10 minutes (they’ll continue roasting later).
• While veggies roast, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (we sent more), ¼ cup water, 2 TBSP butter, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use 2 tsp Italian Seasoning, 1⁄3 cup water, 3 TBSP butter, and 1 tsp sugar.) • Microwave until water is hot and butter has melted, 1 minute. • Whisk in tomato paste until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice meatballs* into thirds. • Place flatbreads on a clean work surface. Spread half the sauce over flatbreads. • Toss meatballs in bowl with remaining sauce; top flatbreads with meatballs and any remaining sauce from bowl.
• Once veggies are almost tender, transfer to a plate. Carefully remove and discard foil from sheet and wipe off any excess oil. • Top flatbreads with bell pepper and as much onion as you like; evenly sprinkle with mozzarella. Place flatbreads on sheet used for veggies. (For 4 servings, divide flatbreads between 2 sheets; bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through baking.) • Bake on top rack until flatbreads are toasted, cheese has melted, meatballs are warmed through, and veggies are lightly charred, 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer flatbreads to a cutting board. Slice into pieces, divide between plates, and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was probably the best recipe ever! It was fun to make and we just loved the taste! One thing I did add with the green peppers and onions was fresh mushrooms... cooked them together and put on top of the pizza flat breads. One more thing I would of liked extra sauce and more mozzarella cheese to put on the breads... overall we really loved this meal!
I love this flatbread! Easy and tasty and not a lot of clean up. I used all the onion for 2 servings and loved the roasted taste. Could add more bell pepper and to balance the ratio of onion to pepper.
This was my first flatbread from Hello Fresh and I really enjoyed it! It was really easy to make. I like that the sauce doesn't have to be simmered on the stovetop. Also a big fan of the turkey meatballs!
Absolutely delicious with an easy prep! Loved the turkey meatballs - just the right amount of spice and the peppers and onion offered a great contrast. Loved this and my husband raved about the flavors!!
This was easy & so tasty, loved it. Haven't done flatbreads often, they are fabulous. This recipe is easy to change up the veggies & meat if you chose to, I thought it was perfect.
Yum!!! I added mushrooms and more onions/green peppers. I loved the turkey meatball idea - it was better than doing heavier sausage.
So easy!! The sauce was easy to make and delicious! And the onions and peppers were so good!!
I'd love to see more lower calorie flatbread options. This one was super yummy. Turkey meatballs made it filling, but not higher calorie like a pork meatball.
This one was really tasty. The pre-cooked turkey meatballs were a little weird though -- I felt it important to rinse them before using. And I don't have any idea how I was supposed to use that tiny amount of sauce on those 4 flatbreads AND meatballs?! I had to break out a jar of marinara. Otherwise, good meal.
The flatbread came out very well. Turkey Meatballs were a little bland. And 1 whole onion (even a medium one) is a bit much for the pizza. Toppings fell off rather than stayed on. Tasted very good in the end but i'd suggest half an onion and pepper personally.
