It's time for Leftover Thanksgiving Pizza

It is almost time for one of my favorite Thanksgiving family traditions. It's time to make my Leftover Thanksgiving Pizza.  We look forward to this pizza every year, a day or two after our Thanksgiving meal.  This year we are actually having two Thanksgiving meals, so we will have some leftovers to use. We will have a small family traditional Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving, and then a big family pot luck meal over the weekend where most likely there will not be a lot of leftovers. 

We love this pizza so much, I make three pizzas for only five people. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.  I wrote out the full recipe in a post from last year, so instead of redoing the entire post, I am going share a link to the full recipe here.

Here is a tip in case you plan on making some.  While buying your groceries for your Thanksgiving meal, pick up a few extra crescent rolls, boxes of stuffing, and cheese ahead of time, just in case you do not have enough leftover from the Thanksgiving meal. 

Enjoy!

Leftover Turkey Pizza

                                           

I LOVED this leftover pizza recipe that I found on Pillsbury.com last year.  It was so good, that I am really looking forward to Friday, when I can make it again.  The picture does not do it justice, so just take my word that it tastes better than it looks. 

The crust is made from a tube of crescent rolls.  Last year I used the one piece roll.  Either way works just fine.  Just seal the seams if needed.   Bake the crust for 7-9 minutes at 425 degrees before adding the other ingredients. 

The recipe calls for leftover cranberry sauce, but since no one in my family likes it, I used Smuckers Black Cherry topping. It might sound odd, but it is GOOD!  I left the corner free of stuffing( I used Stove Top)  in this picture, because my youngest daughter is not a big fan of stuffing.

I then added a layer of shredded leftover turkey.

After the turkey, I added  a layer of cheddar cheese.  We love cheese in my family, so I added a lot. 

Bake the pizze for 6-10 more minutes at 425 degrees  to warm the ingredients, and melt the cheese.   Leftover turkey pizza is a great way to have variety when eating up those wonderful Thanksgiving leftovers.  It is so good, you will want to make it even  when you don't have leftovers.  In that case, you can just add shredded chicken in place of the turkey.
