Easy Weight Watchers Pepperoni Pizza Casserole is my new favorite comfort food this month. It’s a combination of macaroni and cheese and pizza! Do I really need to say more! Check out all of these ground turkey recipes!
Not only is it easy and delicious, but it’s also Weight Watchers and family friendly.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can customize it for whatever preferences your family has including dietary restrictions. Make sure you create the recipe on ww.com if you change anything but feel free to play with the veggies since most are zero points on multiple plans!

Tips
- Using canned tomato sauce, lean ground turkey (or chicken) and no fat cheese help make this a delicious low point casserole. If you use 99% fat-free turkey you can lower the points. The serving size is 1 cup. Serve with a low point side or green salad for a filling low point dinner.
- Pizza Casserole Topping Ideas
- For this we recipe we used low carb rotini pasta, low-fat mozzarella, and fat-free mozzarella, too. If you are on the myWW purple plan using whole wheat noodles will lower your point values.
- I really like to add spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms to pizza.
