   Temperature: 375°F

3. Oil the Griddle

   Brush the surface with 2 tbsp olive oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.

4. Shape the Crust

   Dump the turkey dough onto the hot griddle and, using a spatula, press and spread it into a 10‑inch circle, about ¼‑inch thick.

   Time: PT3M

5. Cook First Side

   Let the crust cook undisturbed until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set, about 6 minutes.

   Time: PT4M

7. Add Sauce and Toppings

8. Slice and Serve

   Remove the pizza from the griddle, let it rest 2 minutes, then slice with a knife or pizza cutter and serve.
