Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
• Optional: grated Parmesan and chopped parsley for garnish

How to Make Turkey Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Pizza Bombs

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix chopped turkey bacon, cheddar, and mozzarella.

3. Divide and Flatten the Dough

Cut pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each into a round disk about 3 inches wide.

4. Stuff and Seal

Spoon 1 tsp of pizza sauce and a heaping tablespoon of filling into each dough round. Fold and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

5. Brush and Season

Brush each bomb with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and optional Parmesan.

6. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until puffed and golden. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips for Success

• Seal tightly to prevent leaks while baking.
• Don’t overfill—a spoonful is enough.
• Chill the dough slightly if it’s too sticky to work with.
