Note
If using frozen pizza dough, ensure it is fully thawed before assembling to prevent uneven baking.
You can use leftover cooked chicken instead of turkey for a similar flavor profile.
For a crispier bottom, consider par-baking the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crust texture.
