Turkey and Sage Pizza
- salt – 0.25 tsp.
- Milk
- warm water – 0.3 cups
- dry yeast – 1 tsp.
- Olive oil
- flour – 1 cup
- Red onion
- medium-sized tomatoes – 2 pcs.
- Olive oil
- mozzarella cheese – 120 g
- tomato sauce – 2 tbsp.
- sage leaves – 6-8 pcs.
- Parmesan cheese – 10 g
- turkey breast – 200 g
- Pour the warm milk into a large bowl, add warm water, salt, and dry yeast. Sift the flour into the bowl and mix. Pour in the olive oil. Knead the dough thoroughly, place it in the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm place for 40 minutes. If the dough isn't elastic enough, add a little more olive oil.
- Pour olive oil into the tomato sauce. Stir thoroughly.
- Slice the turkey thinly. Wash and dry the sage. Peel the onion and cut into thin rings. Wash the tomatoes and cut into rounds.
- Knead the dough and transfer it to a floured work surface. Knead again and roll it into a flat circle with a diameter significantly larger than the baking pan. Quickly transfer the circle to the pan. When the dough begins to shrink after a few seconds, press the edges into the pan with your hands. To prevent the dough from rising and pushing the filling out during baking, prick the surface several times with a knife or fork.
- Spread tomato sauce evenly over the flatbread, leaving about 1.5–2 cm from the edge. Sprinkle with coarsely grated mozzarella cheese.
- Top with the turkey pieces, half the sage leaves, onion, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped sage and serve immediately.
Turkey and Sage Pizza is an elegant departure from tired classics like the Pepperoni and Margherita. This pizza is based on two unusual, yet perfectly paired ingredients. The first is tender turkey breast, which, unlike chicken, has a more pronounced flavor and stays juicier when baked. The second is aromatic sage, whose resinous, slightly bitter notes unfold when heated, offsetting the subtle sweetness of the tomatoes and onions. The dough is a classic yeast dough made with a mixture of milk and water, resulting in a soft yet firm crust. This dish will appeal to those who appreciate not only the nutritional value of pizza but also the subtle interplay of flavors.

Sage has a strong aroma and doesn't tolerate delicate flavors and aromas, so it pairs beautifully with rosemary and garlic. Chefs and cooks use this popular herb to add flavor to savory meat, poultry, and vegetable dishes. Sage also proves effective in pies and sauces.
