Holiday Leftovers Pizza: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You Must Try


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup leftover turkey or ham, shredded or diced
– 1 cup assorted leftover vegetables (e.g., roasted Brussels sprouts, green beans, sweet potatoes)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your choice)
– ½ cup cranberry sauce (or other preferred spread)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, or thyme)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or basil)


Instructions

Creating your holiday leftovers pizza is simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This ensures a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Stretch and shape it to your desired thickness.
3. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
4. Apply the Sauce: Spread a layer of cranberry sauce evenly over the base. This adds a sweet and tangy dimension to your pizza.
5. Add The Meat: Evenly distribute the shredded turkey or diced ham across the pizza.
6. Layer on Vegetables: Scatter your assorted leftover vegetables, arranging them to ensure even coverage.
7. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle your choice of shredded cheese on top, covering the ingredients.
8. Season the Pizza: Sprinkle dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper across the top for added flavor.
9. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish (Optional): Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
