Turkey Broccoli Alfredo Mini Pizzas

Ingredients

Alfredo Sauce

1 c 1% milk (skim may be used, but creates a thinner sauce)

1 1/2 tbsp butter

1 1/2 tbsp flour

2 tbsp Parmesan

1/2 tsp minced garlic

1 dash pepper

Pizza

Approx. 2 tbsp broccoli florets (use best guess)

2 pkg. Litefluff refrigerated biscuits (10 in each)

1 turkey cutlet

1.5 strip turkey bacon

5 handfuls grated mozzarella

5 dashes grated Parmesan

Directions

1. Steam broccoli until just barely cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

2. Slice turkey pieces into bite sized chunks and cook all the way through. Set aside to cool.

3. Cook turkey bacon and set aside to cool.

4. Prepare the sauce: melt butter in sauce pan on stove top with medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour. Gradually add milk, whisking until incorporated and no lumps are present. Continue whisk until hot (about 3-5 minutes). Add Parmesan slowly, whisking until incorporated. Add garlic and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes and then remove from heat.

5. Slice broccoli and turkey bacon into small pieces. Turkey cutlet pieces will probably need to be cut smaller too.

6. Press biscuits into thin rounds. Use four to form each mini pizza (will make 5 pizzas total). You will need to use flour in order to get biscuits to not stick to your hands and stay together. Place on greased cookie sheet. 

7. Top each pizza with Alfredo sauce (there will be some left over), a handful of grated mozzarella, turkey, broccoli, and turkey bacon. Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan over the top if so desired.

8. Bake at 375 F for about 10-15 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and cheese is bubbly. I cooked for about 17.5 minutes and this seems about right. Pizzas were golden brown on the bottom, just a minute or so from being burnt.

Comments

LAST MADE: Tonight for dinner.

RESULT: Pretty good. There was a little bit too strong a taste in part of it in my opinion (both my parents thought it was delicious, but considering they're my parents and therefore biased, plus they didn't have to do the cooking, so they might be lying). Not sure if it was the garlic in the sauce, or something about the dough... but it was unnoticeable when taking a bite with the turkey or turkey bacon. Also, these were much more filling than I thought! One was more than enough.
INJURIES: None, yay! Other than being unpleasantly hot and then baking on top of that.

FOR NEXT TIME: Maybe less sauce and/or more mozzarella. Some black olives might be nice as well. Perhaps some crumbled turkey sausage instead of turkey bacon might be good as well.
