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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to create a nice golden crust.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of mashed potatoes over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the shredded turkey, crumbled stuffing, and dollops of cranberry sauce across the pizza.

Step 7

Drizzle gravy over the toppings in a zigzag pattern, ensuring coverage without oversaturating the dough.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top and add a light sprinkle of fresh rosemary for an herbaceous flavor.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Pizza, a fun and flavorful twist on holiday leftovers!
