Festive Turkey Dinner Pizza (Papa Johns) By @Cinabar

Festive Turkey Dinner Pizza (Papa Johns)

Nothing quite says Christmas like Brussels sprouts on a pizza. Ok this may not be my first choice for a meal on the big day, but as seasonal takeaway treat I couldn’t wait to try it out. It is a nice idea for a pizza with its roast dinner topping.
The Festive Pizza from Papa Johns consist of a pizza base topped with a gravy base topped with turkey meatballs, veggies (including Brussels sprouts), mozzarella and a cranberry drizzle. Once you’ve accepted this is a roast dinner on a pizza the ingredient that doesn’t really fit is the mozzarella, but this is a pizza after all and to me that means it needs cheese.
So I guess the question is, did it work? It actually did, even with the mozzarella. The pizza is very meaty and the turkey meatballs were soft, tasty and rich in flavour. The gravy base was lovely and meaty and the cranberry drizzle added a lovely sweetness. The Brussels sprouts were not really noticeable as they were chopped small, which is a shame. They could have made more of a feature out of it. The carrots however were genius, they added a nice bit of firm texture and really added to the Christmas dinner feel to the meal. They sent through the usual garlic pizza dip, which normally I love to eat on the crusts, but this time I had them plain as it didn’t really fit with the pizza. The mozzarella did work though as a pizza topping and I felt it gave it the feel pizza a more ordinal feel given the very untraditional topping.
