This white cream, turkey and cranberry pizza is a great way to use your Thanksgiving leftovers in an unconventional way. 
Everyone will love the fresh taste of this white cream, turkey and cranberry pizza that you can quickly put together with your leftover turkey day foods.
I knew that creating this white cream, turkey and cranberry pizza was a must. Every year without fail, I search Thanksgiving leftover meals to get ideas of how to use up all my turkey, gluten-free stuffing, potatoes and more. I like using what I already have slaved away in preparing to create fresh, new dishes that wow my guests. The only thing is, I don’t want to spend a lot of time. I got to thinking this year that pizza is one of my favorite meals so why not make a Thanksgiving pizza?
Here I have combined some of my favorite holiday flavors, turkey, fresh cranberries, nutmeg and rosemary to make a pizza so full of flavor that your taste buds will do a little happy dance. I used one of my favorite brands on the market right now, Simple Mills, pizza crust to create this meal. It is great because the protein content is high thanks to the almond flour. It is also grain free which feels good after eating all the homemade gluten-free rolls that I eat on Thanksgiving day.
Not that they aren’t amazing but sometimes it’s nice after the big meal to change up the source of starch in a leftover meal. However, feel free to use any gluten-free pizza crust that you personally love. I recommend using dark meat turkey leftovers as they are most moist and won’t get as crispy. As you can see below, I used more white meat because sweet, yet very picky 😉 hubby doesn’t like dark meat. While it was still delicious, I would have personally preferred more moist dark meat.
So what is your go to Thanksgiving leftover meal? Have you seen our other Thanksgiving leftover meals? We’ve got this delicious turkey, cranberry and Brie bread pudding or these fiery turkey, corn and cream cheese fried gluten-free flautas.

This is such a great idea for using up leftovers! Thankfully I have found a non-dairy cream cheese and I will no longer be prevented from trying out wonderful ideas such as this! I will be trying this out first thing in the morning once we have finished all of our meal and know that I am sure to have all of the ingredients. This is something that may even be added into the “personal” cookbooks I make for my family each year. I know many who will love trying out this White Cream Turkey & Cranberry Pizza in my family since we are all suffering from gluten allergies and are constantly looking for new ideas and recipes!
