Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use fresh turkey meatballs instead of pre-cooked?

Yes, but you’ll need to cook them thoroughly before adding the sauce. Brown them in the skillet and ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Can I make these flatbreads ahead of time?

They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. However, you can prep the toppings and sauce in advance, then assemble and bake when ready.

What can I use instead of flatbreads?

You can use naan, pita bread or even pre-made pizza crust. Adjust baking time as needed.
