Thanksgiving Leftovers: Pizza with Turkey and Roasted Cranberries

With large Holiday cooking often comes leftovers. Here is a quick easy and delicious pizza to make with turkey. Of course if you don’t have turkey leftovers you can substitute chicken in this recipe. Decisions on what to make with all the leftover turkey brings for some interesting dishes. Instead of a soup, casserole or sandwich I opted to make a pizza.

I love pizza.

Making it.

Eating it.

It’s all good.


Roasted cranberries give this pizza a wonderful savory taste that compliments the turkey along with mushrooms and pesto.

Roast cranberries on parchment lines baking sheet for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Stretch out pizza dough and spread with pesto sauce.

Spread cheese along with mushrooms and top with turkey and cranberries.

 

HERE is my 20-minute pizza dough recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 16 oz. pizza dough
  • 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 10 small Baby Portabella Mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 1/2 cups turkey, cooked and chopped
  • 3/4 cup roasted cranberries
Instructions
  1. Use a 16 oz. pizza dough ball from the store or make pizza dough. Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan. Stretch dough to fit the pizza pan. Spread on Pesto sauce, then add cheese, mushroom, turkey, and cranberries. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy.
Notes
Pizza dough Brush Pesto on the dough with a silicone brush Be sure the dough is at room temperature as it will stretch more easily Preheat oven and be sure it's plenty hot to bake pizza properly place cornmeal in a shaker container to shake onto a pizza pan to prevent the dough from sticking.

I just LOVED the sweet and tangy cranberries with the turkey and mushrooms.

What a great way to use up leftovers!

    Pesto and cranberries! Wow! This pizza looks amazing. People may pass on the full turkey dinner and have pizza for Thanksgiving instead.

    This is amazing! I was preparing myself for a pizza topped with stuffing and mashed potatoes, but this looks much better. 🙂

    What a fantastic idea Diane – I always make the same thing every year – a layered casserole with all the leftovers, but I love this fresh new idea.
