The Turkey Alfredo Pizza wasn’t difficult to prepare, though you’ll spend a little extra time draining and drying the spinach and shredding the cheese. This dish was quite different from our usual dinner fare, but we enjoyed it fairly well. Though we couldn’t describe the pizza as “yummy,” it was better than just “pretty good,” so we give it three and a half stars. I’m keeping this recipe on hand for next year’s leftover turkey.
Alongside the pizza, I served up Herbed Tomato-Mozzarella Salad per the magazine’s suggested accompaniment. This salad was extremely different from our usual tossed side salad. Neither one of us can really say anything good about fresh mozzarella. It’s rather tasteless compared to regular old mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed the flavor of the dressing, and the grape tomatoes were delicious; however, I gave this side 3 stars and my husband could only rate it a 2. This one gets 2 and a half stars from us.
If you’ve still got some leftover turkey sitting in your freezer, give this pizza a try!
Have a good week and good eating!
