Ingredients

4whole wheat English muffins
120 glow-sodium marinara sauce
100 gpart-skim mozzarella, grated
150 gturkey sausage, casings removed, cooked and crumbled
1 tspdried oregano
½red bell pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
If the sausage is raw, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until browned and it reaches 74°C (165°F), about 6 minutes.
Split the English muffins and lay them cut side up on the tray.
Spread each half with marinara, then top with the sausage, diced pepper, mozzarella and a pinch of oregano.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the edges of the muffins are crisp.
Cool for 2 minutes before eating; the sauce is very hot.
