Okay, I know what you are thinking. A leftover Thanksgiving pizza recipe? Weird. But hear me out. I had this pizza in a bar a couple of years ago and my first thoughts were also, “weird.” I just had to try it though.
I love weird and different foods and usually, it ends up being something I absolutely love. This time turned out to be the same.
Thanksgiving pizza is exactly what it sounds like: pizza crust, layered with all the best Thanksgiving foods. Gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, turkey and then topped with mozzarella cheese. Baked in the oven and pure comfort food.
I love this because it’s super easy, delicious, but best of all it’s a really unique way of using Thanksgiving leftovers. I love a good turkey sandwich too, but this is too good to pass up.

Using Thanksgiving leftovers to make pizza is one of the easiest (and most delicious) ways to get all that food out of your fridge. Follow these steps for a quick post-holiday meal.
Step One: Simply preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place your pizza dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step Two: We’re going to use leftover gray as pizza sauce. Spoon out and spread a layer of gravy onto your dough. Top that with mashed potatoes and spread it out evenly over the pizza.

Step Four: Sprinkle the whole pizza with shredded mozzarella and make for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melty.
