An easy way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Experiment with another cheese of your choice-chevre or feta for example sound good. Use a basic cranberry sauce or for a more creative route, try something a little off the beaten path: Cranberry sauce with Zinfandel, Star Anise and Black pepper as a suggestion. From a local source. Ingredients:
1 thin pizza crust, baked (we like a light whole wheat thin crust-homemade) |
2 cups whole-berry cranberry sauce, to room temperature (see basic cranberry sauce or use your leftover cranberry sauce from thanksgiving) |
3/4 cup sliced green onion, using both white and green parts |
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese (i chose a medium sharp white cheddar) |
1/4 lb turkey, cut into thin strips (original recipe specifies deli smoked turkey) |
fresh sage, cut into ribbons (optional and my addition) |
Directions:
1. (I added 1/2 teaspoon Wright's Liquid Smoke to the turkey. Stir. Instant smoked deli turkey meat.).
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Place pizza crust on a pizza stone or large baking sheet and spread evenly with cranberry sauce.
4. Top with turkey strips; sprinkle with green onions and cheese.
5. Bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and pizza is heated through.
6. Garnish with fresh sage, if desired.
