Golden Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza
Transform your Thanksgiving leftovers into a delicious pizza topped with turkey, cranberry sauce, and more. A creative way to enjoy your holiday feast again!
Equipment
- 1 pizza pan lightly greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl medium
- 1 oven preheated to 400°F
Ingredients
Stuffing Crust
- 3 cups leftover stuffing
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded leftover turkey
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes optional
- 1/4 cup turkey gravy optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the leftover stuffing, egg, and flour. Mix well until the mixture holds together. Press the mixture evenly into the pizza pan to form a crust.
- Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. This helps to firm up the crust and prepare it for the toppings.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Spread mashed potatoes (if using) over the crust, then evenly distribute the shredded turkey and dollops of cranberry sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and drizzle with turkey gravy, if desired.
Serving
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if available.
Storage
- Wrap leftover pizza slices in aluminum foil or store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
