I was going to make this as a pizza, but the more I thought about it, the image of a soggy crust piled high with Tofurkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy didn't really strike me as pretty food. So, I got out my little pastry press (which I quickly abandoned in favor of my own fingers*), and made little Thanksgiving dinners in a pocket. This also is my result for Iron Chef Battle: Carrots and Pumpkin. There's a little cooked carrot in there, some mashed potatoes, a couple slices of Tofurkey Oven Roasted Slices, and a dollop of cranberry sauce. On the side is my Pumpkin Gravy, which was a hit at last year's Thanksgiving.
I know what you're thinking. Where's the forking stuffing? Well, in this recipe, the stuffing is on the outside. I made a whole wheat pizza dough, and added to it sage, lots of black pepper, rosemary, a little celery seed, and some chopped mushrooms. I made this dough with a little extra flour in order to make it easier to roll out thin.

Where's the forking stuffing?
Oh........
AMAZINGLY AWESOME IDEA!!!
I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN CAPITALS NOW!!!
What a great idea. So pretty too!
I am SO MAKING THIS for Thanksgiving. Esp. since my mum said there's no room in the oven for a Tofurkey...uh huh...
So I'm gonna make these at home and reheat them in a toaster oven at dinnertime. I hope that works out.
But seriously.
I follow your blog like crazy.
I'm a Minnesnowtan too :)
So this is super cool!
Haha and I'm GLAD stuffing is missing! I HATE stuffing. It's one of those things that, even made vegan, remind me of meat and I just...can't bring myself to eat it. EW.
I cannot WAIT to try the gravy either.
I'm sorry for all the caps and what not...good food makes me sooo excited! lol I'm a food junkie!!
