Yummmy....Turkey Pepperoni and Vegetable Flatbread "Pizza"

My husband's Christmas this party this year was fantastic. It was at Fulton's on the Water in Chicago, and for the first time in the history of his company Christmas parties, the food was actually really good. The dynamics, however, even better. This party included staff from all over the country, many from small towns. They were a friendly bunch--Two never even made it to dinner as a result of the 3 hour open bar. So fun. Anyway, at the end of the night in a wine tinged conversation, another mom and I were talking about how she has such a hard time working full time, making a long commute, and then getting home completely wiped out to hungry children at 6pm. I am sure there are a lot of moms in this same situation. I thought of her when I came up with this recipe, as it is done in less than 15 minutes--Her requirement for a weeknight dinner. The "pizza" format makes it kid friendly, the flat bread makes it fast, and the veggies make it healthy. So here you have it:

Turkey Pepperoni and Vegetable "Pizza" Flatbread (3-4 servings)

Here's What You Need:
2 pieces of flatbread (I love the Archer Farm's garlic naan from Target)
Pizza sauce (I love MID'S for it's sweetness)
Left over vegetable (I used asparagus cut into 1" pieces, but broccoli* would work well too)
2 large cherry tomatoes, diced (Season with Salt + Pepper)
Low-fat 6 Cheese Italian, Shredded
Turkey Pepperoni (About 15 pieces cut into tiny strips)
Seasoning (Pizza seasoning or Italian Seasoning and Red Pepper Flakes)

Here's What You Do:

Preheat the oven to 400. Spread pizza sauce over the tops of the flat bread. Top with cheese, pepperoni, and vegetables. Season and then bake for  about 8 minutes. If you want  you can broil it for 1 minute to brown it slightly. Add red pepper flakes.

*If you don't have left over vegetables, you can boil broccoli pieces for 1 minute to add. You could also cut baby spinach into strips and use that as well. (Drizzled with a dash of extra virgin olive oil)

Kid Tip:

This is like pizza so your kids will probably love it. However, if they are "veggie adverse", feel free to add the veggies first and then top with the cheese to "hide" them. Also, you may want to skip the red pepper flakes on their servings. If your kids are starving while you are making this have some baby carrots and hummus for them to eat while waiting!
