Grilled Turkey Pizza with Mushrooms and Basil Pesto

Directions

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 is 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 is crisp and the cheese is melted.
