Description

This pizza is inspired by a favorite snack: toasted sourdough with funky blue cheese and homemade kumquat marmalade. If you’ve never tried it, do yourself a favor. It’s almost delicious enough to justify making kumquat marmalade from scratch, which is equally incredible in both flavor and laboriousness. If you can find kumquat marmalade at the store, try it on this pizza; if not, orange is perfectly fine.

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Preheat oven to highest possible temperature. Preheat baking stone or cast-iron pan.
3. In a medium bowl, add turkey, garlic, fennel seed, wine, salt, and fresh ground pepper and mix well. Heat olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add turkey sausage and brown well, breaking into little pieces in pan. Remove from heat.
4. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll pizza dough into a thin disk about 12 inches in diameter and place it on a prepared peel or sheet of parchment paper. Top with fontina, three-quarters radicchio, and cooked turkey sausage.
5. Slide or place pizza onto stone or pan. If you like, use parchment underneath for easy transfer. Bake until crust has expanded and turned golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on temperature of oven.
6. Take out pizza. Top with blue cheeses and remaining radicchio and return to oven just long enough to melt blue cheeses, about 1 minute. Remove to a cutting board. Place small dollops of orange marmalade strategically here and there near the chunks of blue cheese. Slice and serve.
