Can you use ground turkey in place of the ground chicken in this pizza crust?

Ground turkey can be used for this low-carb pizza crust, but it holds more water, making the crust wetter and less sturdy than ground chicken.

Can I use canned chicken breast in this chicken crust recipe?

Yes you absolutely can! It will take a bit less time to bake up than ground chicken and may be slightly wetter so just pay close attention to it as it cooks and blot excess moisture.

How do I avoid a soggy pizza crust?

I like to blot the ground chicken before combining it with the other ingredients. Also baking the crust first, and allowing it to rest for a few minutes (at least 5 minutes), before adding the toppings works great. You also want to make sure not to use too much pizza sauce, a thin layer of sauce is fine and goes a long way!

How many carbs are in this keto chicken pizza crust?

This low carb chicken pizza crust has less than 1 gram of carbs and 15 grams of protein per serving, just in the pizza crust, not including the toppings.
