Mama Cozzi’s Turkey Pepperoni

Homemade pizza is a special indulgence at our house. I make the dough using yeast packets from Aldi, and I top the pizza with Aldi pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella. I usually top half of our pizza with pepperoni.

Aldi sells regular pepperoni as well as turkey pepperoni. I’ve used both, but I tend to prefer turkey pepperoni because it has less fat. Here, I’m taking a closer look at Aldi turkey pepperoni.

Mama Cozzi’s Turkey Pepperoni is a Regular Buy. You should be able to find it in stores all year. It’s sold on the room-temperature shelves near the pasta, pasta and pizza sauces, rice, and other shelf-stable foods. Once you open the package, it should be refrigerated.

We buy Aldi products for review using our own money. I paid $2.69 for a 5-ounce package at my local Aldi in March of 2025. That’s around 54 cents per ounce.

This is sold under the Mama Cozzi’s Aldi house brand. That’s not a company. Instead, it’s the name Aldi puts on its pizza products, which it sources from various suppliers.

This is ultra-processed, so it’s not something I buy all the time. Ingredients are turkey, salt, and 2% or less natural flavors, dextrose, lactic acid starter culture, oleoresin of paprika, dehydrated granulated garlic, sodium nitrite, BHA, BHT, and citric acid.

One package has about five 16-slice servings. One serving has 70 calories, 3.5 grams of total fat (4% DV), 1 gram of saturated fat (5% DV), 380 mg of sodium (17% DV), less than 1 gram of total carbohydrates (0% DV), no dietary fiber, less than 1 gram of total sugars, less than 1 gram of added sugars (2% DV), and 10 grams of protein.

The package states this turkey pepperoni has 60% less fat than the traditional pepperoni at Aldi, with 3.5 grams of total fat versus 13 grams.

This is ready to eat and doesn’t need to be heated or cooked. You can serve it on a charcuterie board with crackers and cheese, add it to a salad, or put it atop pizza before baking the pizza. Or, sometimes we eat it as a snack straight out of the bag.

The Verdict:

Mama Cozzi’s Turkey Pepperoni is a lower-fat alternative to regular pepperoni. It tastes good and is great however you serve it — plain, with crackers and cheese, or on a pizza. Recommended.
