It was just my husband and I for the holidays this year and I miraculously made the perfect amount of everything for Christmas dinner.
I bought a 4.3 kg local, antibiotic-free, grain-fed turkey from JD Farms Specialty Turkey, and for four days we ate turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
All that was left today was a large handful of leftover turkey, which I planned on doing something with for lunch.
I felt like staying in my pajamas – not going to the grocery store – so I endeavoured to make lunch with what we had on hand: whole wheat pitas, BBQ sauce, a tin of pizza sauce, a red onion, and cheese.
I cut the turkey into the teeniest, tiniest pieces and mixed it with BBQ sauce, and there was the perfect amount for four pita pizzas. Four super delicious pita pizzas!
Ingredients

- Place two pitas each on two baking trays.
- Spread 1/4 of pizza sauce on each pita and top with 1/4 of turkey, 1/4 of red onion and 1/4 of cheese.
- Place baking sheets side by side on middle shelf of oven and cook pizzas for 10 minutes.
