Pumpkin Turkey Flatbread Pizza |
I know what you’re thinking – it’s a little too early for turkey leftover recipes. In that case, file this one away for the day after Thanksgiving, or the day after the day after, when you’ve already had your gobble gobble sandwich and want something different. Or, if you’re like me and won’t get the chance to roast a bird on Turkey Day, go ahead and make a turkey anytime you like just to savor the best part: leftovers!

2 low-carb lavash wraps
1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion (about 100g)
freshly ground salt & pepper
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
dash of cayenne
6oz shredded cooked turkey breast
2oz grated sharp cheddar cheese
chopped fresh sage
Soak the mushrooms in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and reserve the soaking liquid.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400ºF. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onions for about 10 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from skillet. Add the garlic to the skillet, cook for 30 seconds, and then remove from heat. Add the pumpkin and seasonings, and a splash of the soaking liquid from the mushrooms to thin it out a bit.
Place the lavash wraps on baking sheets. Layer the pumpkin mixture, sliced onions, mushrooms, turkey, and cheese on top of the wraps. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until base is crispy and cheese is melted. Garnish with sage before serving.

This sounds phenomonal!!! I am so making this with turkey leftovers, or I might just have to roast a turkey before then because I don't know if I can wait that long:) Amazing job! You are so creative!!
