Thai Grilled Pizza

Thai Grilled Pizza

This is a great dish if you have company for Thanksgiving holidays and want to serve them something besides leftover turkey sandwiches! If you have sesame paste, feel free to use it in place of peanut butter, adjusting the amount of brown sugar if necessary.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice with pulp
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups grilled or cooked turkey, shredded
  • 1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
  • Olive oil, as needed
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into 2 X 1/8-inch matchsticks
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated

PREPARATION:

Prepare grill for indirect heat cooking.

Combine lime juice, soy sauce, onion, cilantro, peanut butter, oil, brown sugar, ginger, lime zest, red pepper flakes and garlic in a stockpot. Stir in shredded turkey. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Unroll pizza dough and pat into a rectangle, approximately 10 X 13 inches. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces.

Reduce grill heat to low. Brush grill rack with olive oil. Using the indirect grilling method, slide pizza crusts on grill and cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes until dough is puffy and lightly browned.

Turn pizza crusts over. Top browned side of pizza crusts with heated turkey mixture. Sprinkle with green onions, carrot sticks and cilantro. Sprinkle pizzas with cheese.

Cover with grill lid or tent with foil. Heat pizzas about 5 minutes or until crusts are cooked on bottom, cheese melts and pizzas are hot.

Yield: 4 Servings
