Thanksgiving Pizza- Liberated Leftovers!

I've been trying to thing of what the heck we can all do with the leftover Thanksgiving food that we will inevitably all have, either from hosting the family gathering or will have packed up for us to take home. I don't know about you but I can only have so many turkey sandwiches before I don't want to see another one until after the new year!

Let's begin a "leftover revolution" and LIBERATE, RESCUE & UNCHAIN our Thanksgiving leftovers from its depressing, monotonous and unemotional existence!

I welcome to you: Thanksgiving Pizza! (You can thank me later!)

Ingredients & Recipe:
  • 12" prepared pizza crust, like Boboli or follow the easy directions to bake up a Pillsbury crust
  • 1/2 cup of gravy
  • 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup leftover turkey, shredded or chopped into smaller pieces
  • 1-2 cups of other leftovers such as stuffing, green bean casserole, corn, etc...
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme (optional)
  • 1 tsp. dried sage (optional)
  • 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

Assemble pizza by spreading gravy on prepared pizza crust, followed by spreading mashed potatoes, sprinkling turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and any other leftovers you feel would be tasty! Top with herbs and cheese, then bake 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted.

You Could Also Try...

  • Try using the smaller, personal-size pizza crusts so everyone in your family can create their own Thanksgiving pizza.
  • Save yourself time and dishes! Instead of dirtying a million food storage containers, assemble the pizza right after Thanksgiving dinner, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Take from fridge to oven!
