Ingredients
- 500g cooked turkey, shredded
- 250g pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 200g pizza sauce
- 200g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Get that oven roaring hot at 220°C (428°F). If you’ve got a pizza stone, throw it in there too. We want it sizzling!
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1/2 cm. Don’t be a wimp; get your hands in there!
- Spread the Sauce: Smear the pizza sauce evenly over the base. Leave a little space at the edges for the crust; we’re not building a dam here!
- Add the Turkey: Scatter the shredded turkey all over that sauce like you mean it. This is the star of the show, so don’t skimp!
- Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella generously over the turkey. We want it gooey and melty – none of that stingy nonsense!
- Toppings Time: Add the cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions on top. Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder like you’re a mad scientist – but make it delicious!
- Season: Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; flavour is key!
- Bake: Slide that masterpiece into the oven (or onto the pizza stone) and let it bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling like a cauldron.
- Garnish: Once done, take it out and let it rest for a minute. Toss some fresh basil leaves on top like you’re sprucing up a fancy dish. It’s not just for show; it adds a lovely aroma!
- Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve hot. Gather your mates or family and watch them devour it. You’ve just made a bloody brilliant turkey pizza!
There you have it! A turkey pizza that’s not just filling but bursting with flavour. It’s simple, fun, and will have everyone raving about your culinary skills. Now get in that kitchen and show them what you’re made of!
