Freaking Fabulous: Turkey Pepperoni

As a weight watcher,  I try to figure out how I can "subdue" my food cravings without blowing the points budget or the number on the scale.  A lot of times I try to "mimic" one of my favorite foods but by swapping out lower point ingredients.

That being said, I've come across a freaking fabulous food.  Turkey Pepperoni. I know what you are thinking. But it's freaking GOOD people...it's not like some of the other turkey substitutes like bacon, sausage, etc.  (All of which I happen to like, but others react as if I've gone to 'crazy town' if I even try to suggest the turkey version could ever replace any of their favorite porky/beefy foods!)

Where was I? Oh yes. Turkey Pepperoni. IT TASTES LIKE PEPPERONI. It's spicier, less greasy, which makes is better.

The kicker? SEVENTEEN pieces for 2 points. SEVENTEEN.  A high protein munchy snack? Yes please. A way to subdue my pizza cravings (that are constant)? Absolutely.

So this post is to serve you two-fold:

1.) Enlighten you to the fact turkey pepperoni is delicious and nutritious.

2.) Share with  you my new lunch/dinner/brunch/linner/snack obsession. Pepperoni Pizza Roll Up.  5 points of pizza heaven. You. Are. Welcome.

Ingredients: (with Points Plus Values)

Pizza Sauce (0 PP)

1/3 cup Reduced fat mozzarella (2 PP)

HALF serving (8 slices) turkey pepperoni (1 PP, 2 PP if you decide to eat the 2nd half of the serving while you prep)

1 high fiber/low fat flour tortilla (2 PP)

Total 5 PP (or 6, depending on how you handled the pepperoni earlier)

Put all ingredients on tortilla like you are making a pizza. Microwave for 1 minute. Roll up and enjoy.  Cheesy, saucy, pepperoni-y (ha!) goodness.

I can't say that I'll never call Domino's again, but I can say this is a fair replacement that I (and the scale!) can live with.
