Barbecue Turkey Flatbread Pizza
Looking for recipes to make with leftover turkey? This flatbread pizza is just the thing.
This recipe will give leftover turkey a face lift and no one will ever know.
The thin flatbread gets crispy when baked and the toppings have delicious southwestern flavor.
Once out of the oven the combination of flavors gets even better with fresh cilantro and drizzles of barbecue ranch sauce.
This pizza has a southwestern flare, and I can’t help but think of my friend when I made it.
She’s from Pennsylvania and was living in California for a while.
Whenever we went out to lunch (in California) she would always say that everything in California has corn in it.
The sound of her voice was so funny because it had the tone of being absolutely amazed and astonished.
She would go on and on about how she couldn’t even order a salad without corn in it.
It was so funny to me because I think she was a corn magnet.
I can still hear her voice saying that and I’m laughing at this very moment as I write this.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Pizza – Thin flatbread pizza crust, leftover cooked turkey, barbecue sauce, Monterey jack cheese, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, pepper and cilantro
BBQ Ranch Sauce Topping – Barbecue sauce and ranch dressing
