Just when you think you cannot bear another re-heated plate of Thanksgiving leftovers or a turkey sandwich, don’t despair. With a little ingenuity, you can easily turn your turkey and leftovers into amazing gourmet pizza delights.
A nifty trick we recently shared on the ABC 36 Good Day Kentucky show is to make-your-own pizzas using the Family Finest Make-N-Bake Pizza Paks available at Walmart. These kits come with four individual servings (sauce, crust, cheese and optionally, meat) making a great foundation for incorporating easy and delicious toppings into any meal.
Turkey, Cranberry, Spinach, and Goat Cheese
Ingredients:
1 Family Finest Make-N-Bake Pizza Pak crust
½ cup Turkey
¼ cup Goat cheese
¼ cup spinach
Cranberry sauce to taste
Directions:
Place oven rack in middle of oven. Preheat to 450 degrees.
Use cranberry sauce or pizza sauce as your base. Top pizza with sauce, then add layers of turkey, spinach, and goat cheese. Bake 1-4 pizzas at a time. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown. Let cool for 3 minutes.
Sweet Potato, Apple, and Cinnamon Dessert Pizza
¼ cup sweet potato mash
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 medium Granny Smith apple, sliced
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush melted butter on top of Family Finest
Make-N-Bake Pizza Pak crust. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of melted butter. In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar with the milk to create an icing. Set aside. Slice apples, and place of top of the entire pizza and add mashed sweet potatoes. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. After pizza has cooled, drizzle icing mixture over the warm pizza. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar. Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

The dessert pizza sounds like a perfect change of pace right now. I have all the ingredients but the pizza crust too. Sharing!
How fun and I would have never thought about making a pizza from my left overs! Sweet Potato, Apple, and Cinnamon Dessert Pizza sounds yummy.
My son is a big pizza eater. I’ll have to try the Turkey Club Pizza for him. I’d love to try the Turkey, Cranberry, Spinach, and Goat Cheese recipe for me.
What a clever idea for all of those leftovers! I love turkey and cranberries together.
