• Preheat the oven to 425F
• Cut the pizza dough in half
• Roll each half into a thick log. Then, cut each log into equally sized pieces, about an inch in thickness.
• Cover the cut pieces with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out.
• Using your fingers, flatten each piece (a bit) into a round, mainly focusing on the edges.
• Add a few strips of the seasoned shredded turkey (or chicken) and small-cubed pieces of mozzarella cheese. Pinch the ends closed and roll the dough into a ball.
• Transfer to a buttered 9-inch square baking dish.
• Note: May also arrange the pizza bites in a circle, as shown in the picture. Simply butter a baking sheet. Place the serving bowl you would like to use in the center of the baking sheet and arrange the pizza bites around the bowl.Please note, the bowl will help act as a guide for placing the pizza bites around it. The bowl will later hold the pizza sauce for dipping the bites in.

Do not place the bowl in the oven.Remove the bowl before placing the baking sheet in the oven.

• Brush the pizza bites with 3 tablespoons of the prepared garlic butter.
• Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
• Carefully remove from the oven and carefully top with grated parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2 cups).
• Bake for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
• Remove from the oven and (optional) brush with the remaining garlic butter.
• Once safe to handle, serve the pizza bites on its own, with pizza sauce, or your favorite dip/side.Be careful of the steam when cutting into the bites.
• Or, carefully transfer to a serving platter. Place the bowl with the pizza sauce (or marinara sauce) in the center and serve.
