Leek And Turkey Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil.
• In a skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp; remove and set aside. Pour off most of the grease but do not clean the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove and turn the heat to medium low. Add the leeks and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Pull or roll the bread dough into a rectangle and place on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle the dough with olive oil. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer all over the crust, slightly overlapping the edges. Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with salt, then lay the mozzarella slices in a single layer on top of the potatoes. Arrange the leeks on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the fried bacon pieces over the top, followed by a generous addition of crumbled goat cheese, grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 11 to 13 minutes. Cut into squares and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the leeks in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside. Crumble sausage into the same skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
• Place the crust on an ungreased baking sheet or 12-in. pizza pan. Spread with pizza sauce; top with leeks, sausage, onion and cheese. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes or until cheese just begins to brown.

Steps:

• Leeks -- In a small sauce pan on medium high heat, add the butter and melt. Then add the garlic, leeks and cook on medium (you don't want to brown them) for about 5 minutes until tender. Then add in the scallions and diced turkey and cook another minute. Don't forget to salt and pepper well.
• Crust -- As the leeks saute, make your crust. Now I prefer to use a tart pan, but not everyone has one. You can make a rough or rustic tart and just lightly crimp the sides up around the tart which is fine. But you want something around 10-12" round. A pizza pan also works for this and you can also make this on a pizza stone. If making it on a pizza stone or a pizza pan I line with parchment paper, so it doesn't stick (not necessary, just something I liked to do). If using a tart pan, spray with non stick spray.
• Unroll the pizza dough and roll on a floured surface into a circle. About 14-16", thin but you don't want it falling apart. Then in the tart pan, pat on the bottom and then pat up the sides. If using a pizza stone, pan, etc., don't crimp up the edges until you fill the crust with the fillings.
• Potatoes -- To your leftover potatoes, add in the chives, egg, garlic, and 1/4 cup cheese. Mix the potatoes well and then spread the potato mixture on to the pizza dough.
• Note: If using fresh homemade mashed potatoes vs leftovers, just make a basic recipe with butter and cream and then add in the chives, egg, garlic and cheese liked stated above.
• Tart -- For the tart pan, fill the bottom of the pan. If using a pizza stone or pizza pan, spread the potatoes on the pizza dough leaving 2" around the edge so you can fold them over form a crust. Just don't fill it all the way to the edge.
• Leeks and Turkey -- Spread the leeks, scallion, garlic and turkey mixture over the potato and top with the remaining cheese.
• Bake -- In a 375 degree oven, bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. If using a pizza stone, don't forget to heat up the stone first. After the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, remove and let set just 5 minutes before serving.
• Serving -- Cut in slices like a pizza and serve with a scoop of cranberry sauce on the top. Serve with balsamic green beans and a pumpkin parfait. Leftovers are great!
