Sophie in the Kitchen: Spinach and Turkey Pizza

This spinach and turkey pizza was amazing! I made sure to roll out the pizza dough as thin as possible and it turned out nice and crisp. You could make your own pizza dough (homemade pizza dough recipe link here) or use store bought. It is actually not too hard to make your own pizza dough, and I like to double the recipe so I can always have one batch in the freezer. If you freeze the dough, just let it defrost in the fridge the night before you need it. Anyway, this spinach and turkey pizza was great because of the fresh spinach. If you want to make it vegetarian, just omit the ground turkey. What is so great about making pizza is you can use whatever toppings you have at home, that's exactly how I came up with this recipe. Enjoy!
