I’m going to do my best to hold true to my promise on a recipe everyday until Thanksgiving. Up today is leftover recipe #2. I posted Turkey Carnitas the other day and my family absolutely goes crazy over them. They’re delicious because they are a twist on a regular taco using up leftover Turkey meat from Thanksgiving.

I told you guys I was shipped a Turkey directly from honeysuckle, our preferred brand when purchasing Turkeys and I also purchased one for our Thanksgiving table. So we’ll happily be having a lot of Turkey around here come Thanksgiving day. That’s why there’s a big need for using up leftover Thanksgiving foods.

What I love about this Turkey Pot Pie Slab Pizza is 1. it uses up not only turkey, but vegetables and cheese too. 2. It feeds a crowd! We like to have people over at our house, again, after Thanksgiving to enjoy some football. We’re a big football loving family around here. Therefore, I push my leftovers onto people. BUT, they don’t care because they’re delicious leftovers.

No one wants a boring plate of leftover turkey like they had a few days previous so if you turn the leftover turkey into something delicious like Turkey Pot Pie Slab Pizza, no one complains. Then the pizza gets gobbled up and you’ve made yourself some room in the refrigerator. Win-win for everyone involved.

Another thing I love about this and you’ll appreciate too as I know you’ve got Black Friday deals to snag is just how simple and easy this Turkey Pot Pie Slab Pizza is to throw together. I think the only thing it requires that you won’t already have on your grocery list is pizza dough. Which you can quick purchase or if you are the king of person who has to make your own dough, by all means do that instead. Otherwise, you should have everything ready to make this pizza.

I start by purchasing 2 pizza crusts which I lay our on a 12 x 17 jelly roll pan. Then I make a quick white cheddar roux sauce to act as the “pizza sauce.” Then it’s just a matter of topping with leftovers. We always have a vegetable medley; corn, carrots, peas and green beans so I added that, then some shredded turkey. Finally I topped with some shredded swiss cheese and cranberry white cheddar. The cranberries add a little punch of sweet and tart and the block was leftover from the cheese tray, so why not? I sprinkled a little bit of thyme onto the finished product.

Everyone LOVED this Turkey Pot Pie Slab Pizza. And guys I’m serious when I say it tastes just like a pot pie! and what’s even better it’s on a pizza crust and loaded with cheese. I love this and you guys will too and so will your friends and family and neighbors. Share with everyone, it sure makes enough to feed a crowd!

So my advice to you this Thanksgiving, get the big bird just so you can make leftover Turkey Pot Pie Slab Pizza and Turkey Carnitas. I’ve also got 1 more leftover to share with you but I’ll save that for the day after Thanksgiving as I’ve got some tasty sides and a few desserts you’ll want on your Thanksgiving table.

I made a beautiful presentation of the Honeysuckle White Whole Turkey for which I’ll share the recipe with you this week so you can make it at home. It’s absolutely delicious. The flavors are wonderful, the bird is golden brown and the meat is tender and juicy. And it all starts with a great bird. Gotta love Honeysuckle! Isn’t he/she gorgeous?!

As I mentioned before Honeysuckle White Whole Turkey is our turkey of choice and has been for years. They have high standards and respect when it comes to their animals and I appreciate that. It’s something I look for in a brand when considering my poultry choices. They turkey is also free from growth promoting antibiotics, preservatives and is USDA process certified.

You can read more about Honeysuckle and their commitment to independently raised farmers here. I purchased my turkey at Kroger. Check out the store locator here, to see if your store carries them. And look to see if there is an in-store offer to save $2.50 on any ONE (1) Fresh Honeysuckle White Whole Turkey until November 21st or in select stores, save $2 on any ONE (1) Fresh Honeysuckle White Whole Turkey until December 31st.
