Ingredients  

  • 1 boneless skinless turkey breasts Granny’s – diced small
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ½ cup fresh mushrooms chanterelle, oyster or cremini, sliced
  • 2 tbsp shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese freshly grated
  • 2 pizza dough uncooked
  • 1 package provolone sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the barbecue to high heat (400°F | 200°C).
  • Season turkey with salt and pepper.
  • On the stovetop or side burner, sauté turkey, mushroom and shallots in olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Set aside.
  • Blend pine nuts, garlic and olive oil in a food process until coarsely chopped. Add basil and pulse until basil just chopped. Transfer to a bowl and add parmesan cheese and mix well.
  • Flour a surface and stretch each ball of the dough into a 12” circle. Place each stretched dough on a non-stick BBQ pizza pan or a preheated stone. Grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for about 5-10 minutes until the underside is crisp.
  • Remove each pizza crust from grill and flip dough, so crisp side is up.
  • Cover each pizza crust with half of the pesto. Divide turkey mushroom mixture between the two pizzas. Top each pizza with slices of provolone.
  • Return pizza to the grill and cook with the lid down over indirect heat for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the bottom in crisp and the cheese is melted.
