Thanksgiving Pizza

On Sunday, I was driving home from a fabulous trip with my family, I was craving turkey and we had no leftovers.  So as soon as I got home, I went to the market and got a turkey and all of the trimmings. Did you know most markets, including mine,  put the Fresh Turkeys on sale a couple days after Thanksgiving. I bought a Butterball Fresh Turkey originally priced at $29.80 for $5.87. That is correct, Five Dollars and eighty-seven cents! Can you believe that? I was pleasantly surprised. 

So on Sunday night we sat down and had Gluten Free Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Turkey, Beet Berry Relish and some fresh carrots. On Monday I was ready for my leftovers and my vision would be complete. However my husband wanted turkey by itself So Tuesday night  I made Thanksgiving Pizza for dinner.  It was like having a Thanksgiving feast all over again but even better. Here is the recipe:


Pizza Dough 
1/4 cup Beet Beery Relish
½ cup mashed potatoes
½ cup Stuffing or dressing
1/4 cup shredded Turkey
½ cup mozzarella Cheese


Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Make your Pizza dough either Gluten free or regular pizza Dough.
Next spread your cranberry relish on top of dough.
Then thinly sprinkle your left over mashed potatoes on top of relish.
Next add the stuffing on top of the potatoes.
Then Shred some turkey and place on top
Last sprinkle shredded cheese on top of turkey pizza pie
Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes until golden

Enjoy and Bon Appetit
