Are you looking for an amazing turkey leftover makeover recipe? Tired of the same turkey leftover ideas from Thanksgiving dinner? Now you have a choice: Eat plain, boring roast turkey sandwiches for the next few days, or turn your leftover bird into a delicious new dish. Like making these turkey cranberry flatbreads.

This year, we’re committed to making something different that doesn’t involve the turkey being sandwiched in between something or simmered in broth (like turkey soup). Let’s break tradition and help get rid of some of your leftover turkey.

This Cranberry Turkey Flatbread Pizza is a superb choice for post-holiday leftovers.  Flatbreads are a wonderful vessel for a quick pizza or a fun sandwich, and there is nothing more satisfying than using your favorite holiday leftovers for this fast meal.

Ingredients Needed

Please note that you will find a full list of ingredients, plus a printable recipe below (just scroll down).

• 2 flatbreads, or pizza dough
• 1 cup turkey, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (ours was homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (we used Monterey Jack blend)

How to Make Cranberry Turkey Flatbread

Grab some quality flatbreads from the bread or deli area of your local grocery store. You can also use Naan if traditional flatbread isn’t available.

STEP ONE: Spread your favorite cranberry sauce on the flatbread as the “sauce” for your flatbread pizza. We make ours homemade, but any canned or jarred variety will work just fine.  

STEP TWO: Top with your shredded or diced leftover turkey and shredded cheese. To spice it up a bit, you can use some pepper jack cheese. I love the spicy cheese with the sweet and tart cranberry sauce. A mix of cheddar, jack, or mozzarella are all great choices as well.

These are the perfect size to cook in a toaster oven for a fast snack, or to make several and bake on your favorite pizza stone for a delicious flatbread pizza lunch everyone will beg for more of in the future.

STEP FOUR: Simply bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the flatbread is golden.
