Ingredients

- 1.0 medium zucchini (seeded and diced small)
- 1.0 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 medium red onion (finely diced)
- 3.0 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup feta (crumbled)
- 1.0 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped, optional)
- 1.0 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1.0 roll thin-crust pizza dough
- 1.0 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 1.0 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3.0 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- fresh dill (for garnish)
- 1.0 English cucumber
- 2.0 mandarin oranges (segmented)
- 1.0 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven according to pizza dough instructions. Make garlic sauce by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to let garlic flavor develop. Seed and dice zucchini, halve grape tomatoes, finely dice red onion, mince garlic, and roughly chop spinach if using.
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground turkey until no longer pink. Drain excess fat, then add diced red onion and cook until softened (2-3 minutes). Add zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften. Add tomatoes and garlic, cooking until liquid mostly evaporates. If using spinach, add it and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and stir in feta, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Split pizza dough in half and shape each portion into an oval on a lightly floured surface. Place filling on one half of each oval and fold the empty half over to create a half-moon shape. Create a slight lip on the edge to contain filling and sauce, then transfer to a baking sheet.
- Step 4: Bake the flatbreads until golden brown according to dough instructions.
- Step 5: While flatbreads bake, use a vegetable peeler to create long cucumber ribbons and segment mandarin oranges. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and red wine vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Step 6: To plate, arrange cucumber ribbons in casual waves on plates, scatter mandarin segments over ribbons, and drizzle with the olive oil-vinegar mixture. Season salad with a final pinch of salt and pepper.
- Step 7: Place hot flatbread on each plate, drizzle generously with garlic sauce, and garnish with fresh dill. Serve additional sauce on the side.
