Pizza Ingredients

Stuffing Seasoning for the Dough

  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp sage
  • 1 tsp rosemary

Pizza Toppings

  • 2.5 ounces cranberry sauce about 3 tablespoons.
  • 5 ounces turkey gravy
  • 5 ounces turkey diced
  • 4 ounces Mozzarella cheese about 1 cup, shredded

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough instructions (for a conventional oven, that’s probably 425°F but we used our outdoor pizza oven and cooked at 700°F).

Make the dough into a stuffing!:

  • If you are making your own dough, mix your pizza dough but add the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.
  • If you are using a pre-made dough, you can sprinkle some on top before you stretch out the crust.
  • These stuffing-inspired flavors add a subtle festive touch.

Prep the crust:

  • Roll out the dough into a ~14-inch circle, ensuring it’s evenly thick. You will probably want to use a rolling pin to get uniform thickness.
  • Using a knife or pizza cutter, make 1-inch deep cuts along the edge, spacing them every 3 inches.
    Cut the edges of the dough before braiding.
  • Dock the dough. This helps prevent the pizza from puffing up as much and therefore keeping the stuffed crust closed.
    Transfer the dough to the oiled pan and dock with a docking wheel or fork.

Stuff the crust:

  • Spread the cranberry sauce in a circle, about an inch inside the dough’s edge.
    Stuff the crust.
  • Fold each cut section over the cranberry sauce, pressing it gently to secure the braided crust.
    Fold and braid the edge.

Assemble the pizza:

  • Spread the gravy evenly over the pizza’s center, avoiding the crust.
  • Scatter the turkey pieces on top.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over everything, ensuring an even layer.

Bake:

  • Place the pizza in the oven and bake according to the pizza crust instructions, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Serve and enjoy:

  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
