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

The Ultimate Gluten Free Pizza

When my daughter became Gluten Free we realized that there are not  many pizza places that serve Gluten Free Pizza. When we finally found one I was in sticker shock on what they wanted for a small Pizza a whopping 32.00 and that was for a Cheese Pizza. So I quickly started to try to figure out how to make a good tasting Gluten Free Pizza Dough. After numerous attempts. I finally came up with one good Pizza dough. I had been told that no matter what you cook with, when using Gluten Free flour you must add xanthium gum! Well after numerous attempts last night I finally made the Ultimate Gluten Free Pizza Dough and guess what no Xanthium Gum. Yep you heard right, So here's the Fabulous Recipe.
