MEATBALL FILLED DOUBLE CRUST PIZZA

2 pounds pizza dough 2/3 cup pizza sauce 1 tsp dried oregano 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend 12 oz pkg cooked turkey meatballs, cut into slices 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni

Heat oven to 450 degrees.* Coat 12 inch pizza pan with cooking spray. On floured surface, roll out half of the dough into 12 inch round. Lift the dough into pan, fitting it in pan.

Spoon the pizza sauce over dough, leaving a border around the edge. Sprinkle with oregano and 1 cup cheese blend. Scatter the meatballs over the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Spoon on ricotta. Arrange the pepperoni over the ricotta.

Roll out the other pound of dough into a 12 inch round. Lift and fit over the filling on pizza. Line up the edge with the bottom crust. Crimp the top edge with the lower edges as you would a pie. Cut slits in the top.

Bake the pizza 25 min. or until the crust is browned. Let pizza cool 10 min. before slicing. SERVE WITH RANCH DRESSING OR HOT SAUCE. Makes 8 servings.*
