Thanksgiving Leftover Part 1: Turkey Dinner Pizza

     So I'm going to do a couple of posts regarding Thanksgiving leftovers. I know it's after the holidays and most of you have eaten through your leftovers but you can save these for next year or bookmark the blog so you can find them again.

The first one I have for you is a Turkey Dinner Pizza, although there's not much pizza-ish about it!

     Here's the thing, there's not much of a recipe but more of a set of vague directions and you can have fun from there!

Ingredients:

1 Large burrito tortilla shell

Leftover mashed potatoes

Leftover stuffing

Leftover green beans

Leftover gravy

Directions:

1) Set oven to 350° F

2) Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and rub with vegetable oil

3) Place tortilla shell bumpy side down (if you have a bumpy side) on the aluminum foil

4) Spread a thin layer of mashed potatoes on top of the tortilla shell to about 1/4" from the edge

5) Layer with thin layers of stuffing, turkey, and green beans in that order

6) Drizzle gravy all over but do not fully cover it

7) Place in oven when it hits 350° and let cook until the edges of the tortilla shell start to brown.

8) Cut and enjoy!

     The thin layers of the ingredients are key. If you make it too thick, it'll take longer to cook and you risk burning the edges of the tortilla shell.
