Christmas turkey pizza

This year we have more turkey leftovers than usual and lockdown means we have more time to test some new recipes.
we love outdoor living and are the proud owners of a small pizza oven. So, why not try turkey pizzas.

Ingredients

  • Pre-made pizza bases, pizza base mix or find a pizza base recipe. (we haven’t made this, but Sainsburys do a quick pizza dough recipe that gets 28K 5 stars, so it must be goo)

  • 6-8 tbsp tomato pizza sauce (we often cheat with supermarket bought sauce) - here is a 5 star 5 minute pizza sauce recipe.

  • 1-2 handfuls ( 50-100g) leftover sausage meat or stuffing 

  • 2-3 handfuls of thinly sliced or shredded leftover cooked turkey

  • 100g Buffalo mozzarella , sliced

  • A few leaves of sage (fresh or frozen) ripped or chopped

  • 1/4 red onion sliced thin (optional)

  • 1/4 pepper sliced/diced (optional)

  • 6-12 olives sliced (optional)

What you put on your pizza is optional and personal taste. We like to load ours up, but you may be more of a minimalist, so no need to stick to these ingredients or volumes.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 or instructions on pizza base pack. (in this version, we actually used an outdoor pizza oven)

  2. Make your pizza bases (unless like us - you’ve bought them)

  3. Spread your pizza sauce on your base

  4. Chop all your ingredients and place into piles - turkey, mozzarella, onion, peppers, olives etc.

  5. Sprinkle ingredients evenly onto your pizza bases, ripe and sprinkle sausage meat on too.

  6. Cook pizza 10-15 mins until mozzarella is melted and bases are crispy. We used a pizza oven which is much hotter at 350-450 degrees so only took 1-2 mins.

Alternatives, if we’d cooked a ham we’d add ham leftovers and sprouts?

Have fun and enjoy.
This recipe was based on a BBC Good Food pizza recipe in case you want to try the original.

Other yummy leftover turkey recipes

As 2020 Christmas may be different and to showcase just how flexible turkey can be, we recently teamed up with Brockham-based cook Ruth’s Little Kitchen and our friends at Local Food Surrey.

While you may prefer to stick to your tried and tested traditions, we’ve worked hard to come up with a range of new recipes that showcase what an underrated ingredient turkey can be.

  1. Turkey Schnitzel - great if you have uncooked thighs left from your crown or roll

  2. Ottolenghi breast roll or thigh marinated in herbs and white wine.

  3. Pulled turkey - a favourite with us and kids, great slow cooked using raw turkey thighs or legs.

  4. Easy turkey hoisin spring rolls - great if you have some filo pastry & left over cooked turkey.

  5. Easy turkey gratin - delicious creamy, cheesie dish using cooked turkey.

  6. Turkey leg tagine - great if you had a roll or crown and have uncooked turkey legs to cook.

You can find all of these turkey recipes on our blog and pre-order your free-range Bramble Farm turkey in preparation for your festive season of feasting.
