While your waiting for the pizza dough and the pizza stone to be ready cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and sautée on a pan. Also chop up turkey sausage and bell peppers. 

When the pizza dough and pizza stone are ready knead the pizza dough evenly on the stone .

Add sauce and cheese and then sprinkle spinach, peppers, turkey sausage, bacon, and black olives if desired. Stick in the oven for 20 minutes. Pics below!
