Leftovers

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love getting together with family and friends and eating!  Sometimes the food is traditional, and sometimes it isn't. But normally, one thing is guaranteed to be on that dinner table: turkey. Somehow turkey has become a symbol for Thanksgiving! (I'm not complaining, I think its delicious!)
Actually, there is one other thing that is guaranteed at Thanksgiving: leftovers.
Now, I'm not that crazy about leftovers. I just don't like eating the same things over and over again. I like variety, its the spice of life! And I love spices.
So, I have come up with a solution for leftover turkey. No, its not a sandwich. No, its not a casserole.
Yes, its pizza!
I bet you're thinking, "What??? Pizza?!"
Yes, pizza. Barbecue Turkey Pizza. (Formerly known as Barbecue Chicken Pizza.)
Its so easy and so delicious! Here is the recipe:

Barbecue Turkey Recipe

Actually, this is one of those things you don't need a recipe for!
Start with a pizza crust, you can either use a store-bought or you can make your own (I use this recipe: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2013/08/pizza-ree-a/ I adore the Pioneer Woman)
Prepare it the way the directions say
Spread some of your favorite BBQ sauce on the pizza
Top with Turkey, chopped Cilantro, and red onions
Then finish it off with your favorite kind of cheese (I use a mixture of Monterrey Jack and Mozzarella)
Bake Pizza according to the packaging or directions
Enjoy!

  1. That recipe sounds really good. Thanksgiving is always good, and I love coming hope to free food. I have never heard of the dish and will probably tell one of my friends, that can cook, to try this one out. I cannot wait to stop eating fast food and be able to come home to some good cooking. Thanks for the new recipe.

  2. This post is the answer to my prayers. I have sooo much left over turkey at my apartment. I don’t really want to eat it anymore but I also don’t want to waste it. This pizza idea is cheap, easy and looks very tasty. Adding cilantro, BBQ, cheese and onions will pretty much mask the taste of the turkey that I have gotten a bit tired of. I feel like you could add all kinds of toppings and mix ‘n match the pizza for all kinds of flavors!!
