How to make Thanksgiving Skillet Pizza

Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 260°C. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12" round (if dough springs back, cover with plastic and let rest 5 minutes, then roll again, resting as needed).

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until very hot. Carefully transfer dough to skillet. Brush top of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook, shaking pan occasionally and turning pan to avoid hot spots, until bottom of dough is golden brown and crispy, 3–4 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss turkey with 60ml cranberry sauce, if using, in a medium bowl.

Remove skillet from heat. Using a large flat spatula, flip dough. Spread potatoes over dough, leaving a 3/4" border on all sides; season with salt and pepper. Top with 120g cheese, then turkey mixture, vegetables, and onion. Top with remaining 120g cheese and red pepper flakes, if using. Bake pizza until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted, 6–8 minutes.

Transfer pizza to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Serve with additional cranberry sauce alongside, if using.
