Good, Solid Recipe

Provolone and mozzarella are traditional pizza cheeses, but you can use any combination of your favorites.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

  • 1  teaspoon  olive oil
  • 1  cup  chopped onion
  • 3  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 3/4  cups  canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh parsley
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh basil
  • 1  (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  cups  chopped skinned cooked turkey
  • 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley and basil. Remove from heat. Cool completely.

Roll dough into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a (12-inch) pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim.

Spread tomato mixture over crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Top with turkey; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden.

There is plenty you can do to this recipe to fit it to your family's taste and it is as simple as adding a different topping. It is also a great way to get some more use out of all that left over turkey meat. We really enjoyed it and the recipe was a snap to make. I would use this recipe again.01/29/09

Never thought of this! Great kid friendly idea but I used what we had around to make it. I make turkey sheppard's pie with leftover turkey, gravy, corn and potatoes, turkey soup and turkey burritos...this will be added to our leftover favourites because my husband always buys a 20+ lb bird for holidays!12/31/08
