Ingredients
1 medium pizza dough (12–14 inches), homemade or store-bought
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
1 cup stuffing, lightly toasted
1/4 cup cranberry sauce or cranberry relish
1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced and roasted or sautéed
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Prep and preheat: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats for a crispier crust.
-
Roll and season the crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12–14 inch round. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Par-bake the crust: Transfer to a baking sheet or hot pizza stone. Bake for 5–6 minutes until just set but not browned — this keeps the crust sturdy for toppings.
-
Add toppings: Spread the garlic oil over the crust, then layer mozzarella, ricotta, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, and sage. Finish with Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
-
Bake until bubbly: Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the crust is golden, and the edges are crisp.
-
Finish and rest: Remove from the oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice. Drizzle lightly with olive oil before serving if desired.
