Ingredients
- 1 large flatbread
- 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your flatbread gets nicely toasted and warm.
- While the oven is preheating, gather all your ingredients: the large flatbread, shredded cooked turkey, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, and fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and cranberry sauce. Mix well until they are fully blended. This will create a creamy and tangy spread for your flatbread.
- Take the large flatbread and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese and cranberry mixture evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Next, evenly distribute the shredded turkey over the cream cheese and cranberry spread. Make sure to cover the flatbread well with the turkey for a hearty bite.
- Once the turkey is spread out, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden and crispy, and the turkey is heated through.
- While the flatbread is baking, finely chop the fresh parsley. This will be used as a garnish to add freshness and color to your dish.
- After 10 minutes, carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing it into quarters or eighths, depending on your preference.
- Before serving, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the flatbread for an added burst of flavor and a pop of color.
- Serve the Turkey Flatbread with Cranberry Salsa warm, and enjoy this delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any occasion!
Tips
- Use high-quality, freshly cooked turkey for the best flavor and texture. If you have leftover roasted turkey, this recipe is perfect for repurposing those delicious remnants.
- For extra crispiness, brush the edges of the flatbread with a little olive oil before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of flatbread—naan, pita, or even a thin pizza crust can work wonderfully.
- Make sure to spread the cream cheese and cranberry mixture evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- If you want to add more complexity, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh thyme or a dash of cracked black pepper before baking.
- For a lighter version, you can use low-fat cream cheese and lean turkey breast.
- This recipe is incredibly versatile—try substituting the turkey with rotisserie chicken or even pulled pork for variety.
