Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pizza dough
• 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 1/2 cups cooked turkey breast, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• Olive oil, for brushing
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
3. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Distribute the sliced turkey and red onion evenly over the sauce layer.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the toppings, ensuring an even cover.
6. If using a baking sheet, place it directly in the oven. If using a pizza stone, carefully slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated stone.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
8. Remove from the oven, brush the crust with a bit of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
9. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Helpful Tips

For beginners, using pre-made pizza dough saves time and ensures a reliable crust. Feel free to experiment with the cheese combinations and use what you love or have on hand.

Storage Instructions

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for the crispiest results.

Ingredient Substitutions

If cooked turkey isn’t available, cooked chicken works wonderfully as well. You can also swap the cranberry sauce for a berry compote for a different yet equally delicious twist.

Pairings

Pair the Cranberry BBQ Turkey Pizza with a simple green salad and a glass of red wine like Merlot. For a non-alcoholic option, try a sparkling cranberry mocktail to complement the flavors.
