I've gone on a Use Up The Food In My Freezer Before It Dies Of Frostbite Campaign and since I have about a million little 1/2 pound packages of ground turkey, I came up with this:
Put a little olive oil (or use Pam) in a non-stick skillet. Saute a little chopped onion (about 1/4 onion) until soft. Add 1/2 pound ground turkey and brown. When turkey is almost brown, add the following:
Salt
Paprika
Black pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Dried thyme leaves
Dried basil leaves
Fennel
I didn't measure any of this, just threw it in. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each and more of the salt. Continue cooking until turkey is brown, stirring to incorporate the seasonings.
Take your favorite IBS-safe pizza crust, top with a little pizza sauce, and top that with the "sausage" you just made. Top with IBS-safe cheese if you want. (I didn't, mostly because I didn't have any.) Cook as directed on crust package.
This was surprisingly good. Next time I'll probably up the seasonings more, especially the fennel and basil.
I based the sausage recipe on a Rachael Ray recipe and since I didn't have any grill seasoning, I used the seasonings given here. It's amazing what you can find on the Internet.
(Edited on 4/12/07 to add Fennel to the list of seasonings.)

To tell you the truth, for this topping I thought I might have done better to skip the pizza sauce - the "sausage" by itself would probably have been enough.
Beyond that, I've been thinking about trying some Rachael Ray pizzas that don't use tomato sauces - just for a change. Here are some of the recipes I've considered. They'd have to be altered to be IBS-safe - to start I'd just skip the cheese - but maybe they'll give you some ideas for offbeat toppings:
Hummus - this intrigues me because with hummus as a "sauce" you could top it with all kinds of veggies
Peking pizza - it does call for barbeque sauce which might be a tomato problem for you but hoisin sauce might work
Spinach - this sounds yummy and I bet I wouldn't even miss the cheese
I also have a recipe in a cookbook called Eating Well Is The Best Revenge by Marian Burros. It's for Pacific Rim Chicken Pizza and calls for carrots, green pepper, scallions, chicken, ginger, mango chutney, peanut butter, sherry, and a couple of other things. Essentially the chutney and peanut butter along with some flavorings take the place of the sauce. I haven't tried the recipe yet - it's on my list - but if anyone is interested I'll be glad to post it.

mixed it with a little jar pasta sauce (I used Ragu 7-Herb Tomato) and it made a yummy meat sauce.

I've been fiddling with this "sausage" recipe and have come up with measurements I like for the various seasonings:
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme leaves
1 Tablespoon Dried basil leaves
1 Tablespoon Fennel

When I say "fennel" here I mean "fennel seeds"so Heather's loose tea or the fennel seeds you buy in the spice aisle at the supermarket or at Indian markets. I don't think I've ever seen ground fennel.
In general, though, lots of recipes say "fennel" when they mean that thing that looks like a really short, really fat celery stalk - which some people also call "anise".

I saw ground fennel at puritan's pride website,I belive. omg check out mountainroseherbs.com they have all natural organic spices/seasonings they are great, I bought the slipery elm capsules and since they were 9.25 and minimum order is $10 I got a cool salt called black lava its really good. There were others I wanted like their pumkin spice and their pink salt,but I didn't have money to buy stuff.

I purchased ground fennel at our grocery store. I believe most recipes would mean "ground" fennel.
