Thanksgiving is over, y’all, and you know what that means – leftovers for days! But instead of just reheating the same ol’ turkey and mashed potatoes, why not get creative and whip up something truly special? I’m talkin’ about a Thanksgiving leftover pizza with a twist – a homemade sweet potato crust that’ll have your taste buds doin’ the happy dance!
A Crust Like No Other
Now, y’all might be wonderin’, “Why in tarnation would I put sweet potatoes in my pizza crust?” Well, let me tell ya – it’s all ’bout addin’ some Southern flair to this classic dish. The natural sweetness of them taters pairs perfectly with those savory leftovers. Plus, it’s gluten-free too, so even Aunt Sally who can’t handle wheat can enjoy every bite.
To make this crust from scratch ain’t as hard as wranglin’ cattle on the ranch. Just mash up them cooked sweet potatoes real good and mix ’em with some almond flour, eggs (or flaxseed if you’re goin’ vegan), salt, pepper, and any seasonings your heart desires. Spread that mixture onto a greased baking sheet like you’re paintin’ an old barn door.
Toss it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for ’bout 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. And voila! You got yourself one heck of a unique pizza base ready to be loaded up with all them delicious leftovers.
Pile On Those Tasty Toppings
This ain’t no ordinary pizza we’re makin’, folks. It’s Thanksgivin’-on-a-crust! Start by spreadin’ a layer of cranberry sauce on top of that sweet potato goodness. Then, sprinkle on some shredded turkey – the star of the show. Add dollops of leftover gravy and scatter them roasted veggies like confetti at a country fair.
Now, let’s not forget ’bout the cheese, y’all. Sprinkle generous amounts of your favorite kind all over that pizza. Whether it’s cheddar, mozzarella, or even some tangy goat cheese – go wild with it! And if you’re feelin’ extra fancy, crumble up some leftover stuffing and sprinkle it on top for an added crunch.
Pop that bad boy back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted to perfection and them toppings are heated through. The aroma fillin’ your kitchen will have everyone rushin’ to grab themselves a slice before you can say “gobble gobble!”
A Thanksgiving Feast Reimagined
This ain’t just any ol’ pizza; this here creation is a whole new way to enjoy them Thanksgiving leftovers. With each bite, you’ll taste hints of tradition mixed with Southern charm – a flavor explosion like no other.
