Barbecued Turkey Pizza
(Serves 4)

Vegetable cooking spray
2 cups shredded grilled or smoked turkey, shredded *
3/4 cup bottled hickory-smoked barbecue sauce
1 tube (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
8 tablespoons grated reduced-fat mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine turkey and barbecue sauce. Unroll pizza dough and pat into rectangle, approximately 10 x 13 inches. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Spray grill with vegetable cooking spray. Place dough on grill over hot coals and grill 4 to 5 minutes or until dough is puffy and lightly browned. Turn dough over and grill 2 to3 minutes until dough is done. Top each pizza with 1/4 turkey mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover grill and heat pizzas 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with basil leaves (optional). Serve immediately.

* Smoked turkey can be used instead of grilled turkey.

Alternate Cooking Method:
Can also prepare pizza on an electric or indoor grill. Spray with cooking spray. Place dough on grill, cover and reduce cooking time to 3 to 4 minutes. The heat from lid allows both sides to brown. Add ingredients, but don't place cover down or cheese will stick to the inside. Heat pizza 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese melts.
