1

Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Press pizza dough in bottom and slightly up sides of pan to form crust. Bake about 7 minutes or until crust just begins to turn brown on edges.
2

Meanwhile, in 6-inch skillet, cook turkey and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in oregano and salt.
3

Spread sour cream over warm crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Evenly top cheese with cooked turkey. Sprinkle with cucumber and tomato. Separate red onion into rings; arrange over tomato. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and the feta cheese.

Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until edges of crust are golden brown and cheese is melted.

For easier prep, use 1/2 lb sliced turkey breast (from deli), cut into strips, in place of the ground turkey mixture.
Ground turkey is an inexpensive substitute for ground beef. It works well in dishes where other flavors predominate over the meat.
