Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 4 pieces High-Protein Tortillas or Wraps Feel free to swap for whole wheat or cauliflower-based wraps for a low-carb option.
For the Filling
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Turkey or Chicken Can be substituted with 95% lean beef or plant-based crumbles.
  • 1 cup Reduced-Fat Mozzarella Cheese Consider using light ricotta or cottage cheese.
  • 6 slices Turkey Pepperoni Slices Try plant-based pepperoni for a meat-free alternative.
  • 1 cup No-Sugar-Added Marinara Sauce Making your own with herbs can enhance the taste.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Oregano You can switch with Italian seasoning or smoked paprika.
For Crisping
  • 1 spray Olive Oil Spray or Egg Wash The spray is a lighter option for crispness.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Air fryer
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey or chicken, seasoning it with garlic powder and oregano. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat with reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, turkey pepperoni slices, and no-sugar-added marinara sauce. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and combined.
  3. Lay your high-protein tortillas or wraps flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture into the center of each tortilla, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly like a burrito.
  4. Brush the outside of each filled tortilla with either olive oil spray or an egg wash. Place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook the rolls in the basket for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. For oven baking, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Rolls from the air fryer or oven and let them cool slightly before serving with marinara or fresh herbs.

Notes

Allow filling to cool slightly before assembling to prevent tortillas from tearing. Roll tightly and seal edges to avoid leaks during cooking. Bake on parchment paper for even crisping.
