About this blog:

I am a teacher who likes to cook (and eat.) I am constantly being asked for the recipes to dishes I share with my colleagues, parents or students. This is my place to present them. Many of the recipes I post are borrowed from other sources which are given credit. I tend to tweak most to simplify the cooking process or lessen the cost. Let me know what you think by leaving me some comments. Happy cooking!

Leftover Turkey & Cranberry Pizza


I love turkey (and who doesn’t!) I want the aroma of roasted turkey in my house at Thanksgiving and bags of leftovers in my refrigerator for days afterward. But usually, my sister-in-law hosts the family Thanksgiving feasting at her house and there are never any leftovers.  We, however, always cook a turkey at home on that weekend as well. We then go through the usual dishes – turkey salad, hot turkey sandwiches, sometimes even turkey croquettes.  We discovered this gourmet left-over turkey pizza recipe from the Ocean Spray Cranberry recipes website a few years ago. It is now a family favorite - quick, easy to make and very, very good. 

Ingredients
16-ounce precooked pizza crust (Boboli is the best)
16-ounce can Whole Berry Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce
3/4 cup sliced green onion
8-12 ounces of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼- ½  pound leftover turkey

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place prebaked pizza crust on an ungreased baking pan and Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle with green onion then the cheese. Top with turkey. Bake for 10 -12 minutes or until heated through and cheese has melted
