- Directions
- Pull and stretch dough to fit a greased 15 x 10 in. (40 x 25 cm) baking pan or pizza pan. Brush sesame oil over dough and sprinkle sesame seeds around outside edges. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is light brown. Meanwhile, mix broth, peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, hot pepper sauce and cornstarch together in a saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Set aside. Stir-fry garlic and turkey in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes; stir in leeks and peppers. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp. Spread thickened sauce on partially baked crust to within 1 in. (2.5 cm) of edges. Spread turkey mixture over sauce; sprinkle cheeses on top. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Garnish with cilantro. Cut into squares or wedges. Serve with Boston lettuce and tropical fruit, if desired.
