Forget turkey sandwiches. If you can think of a more creative way to use Thanksgiving leftovers than making them into a pizza, please, let us know.

This approach utilizes cranberry sauce in place of tomato sauce and then allows you to top it off with whatever’s taking up space in the fridge: turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, etc.

Pile it all on, bake, and you’ll forever remember Thanksgiving as the holiday that just keeps on giving.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Roll out your whole wheat dough nice and thin (or buy a thin crust round version), and you’ll be eating minimal extra carbs alongside all of those leftovers. It’s a genius upgrade to the Black Friday sandwich you’re used to. Plus, if you’re exhausted from cooking, cleaning (and maybe shopping), you can let the kids help. Sprinkling toppings on a crust is kid-friendly cooking at its best.
