What to do with all this TURKEY?

 So Wednesday, we talked about chess pies on the day before Thanksgiving, which is the biggest pizza delivery day of the year as people stuff the pizza as they stuff the turkey. 

Today, let's talk about using up yesterday's leftovers in something pizza-ish, because no one wants leftover turkey for three days! And I promise you, this will be the last recipe in this blog for quite some time. Enough already. Who am I, Martha Stewart?

======================================================

Round up everything that Uncle Abner didn't shove down his neck and make  leftover calzones! Like so:

Get an unbaked ball of pizza dough and let it come to room temperature. Split into 4 chunks.

shred about 2 cups leftover poultry and combine it with some cranberries, stuffing, and cheese if you like

Heat the oven to 475°

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with Pam

Knead each doughball and flatten it. Cover with plastic wrap and roll flat into an 8" circle.

Place circles on floured cutting board. Place mixed filling in the center, leaving enough room to fold it over with an inch border.

Crimp the edges, place on cookie sheet, slice two steam vents in the top and brush with olive oil (or spray with Pam. What's the difference?)

Bake until golden brown 18-22 minutes. Cool on wire rack and serve before Uncle Abner staggers in. 

=========================================================

It should look like this, especially if you add a green salad:
