Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ball (approximately 12-inch crust) pizza dough
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup stuffing
- 0.5 cup gravy
- 0.25 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to create a nice golden crust.
Spread an even layer of mashed potatoes over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mashed potatoes.
Evenly distribute the shredded turkey, crumbled stuffing, and dollops of cranberry sauce across the pizza.
Drizzle gravy over the toppings in a zigzag pattern, ensuring coverage without oversaturating the dough.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top and add a light sprinkle of fresh rosemary for an herbaceous flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Pizza, a fun and flavorful twist on holiday leftovers!
