Back again with my favorite naan and another flatbread recipe >> kale & turkey bacon flatbread to be exact!
I can’t and won’t stop. If you guys haven’t tried these StoneFire Naan yet, you’re totally missing out! So what’s on our flatbread this time? Amazing things per usual but let’s discuss…
Layer 1: The best naan ever from Stonefire >> just so chewy yet crispy and everything good.
Layer 2: Marinara sauce AND tomato jam! Never tried tomato jam?! Well it’s basically like sweeter, thicker, and more flavorful tomato sauce! I made some with fresh tomatoes from my neighbor Biz’s garden but you can totally buy it at the store too. You do you man.
Layer 3: Diced and cooked turkey bacon! Now here me out… I know real bacon is like totally the best BUT in this case on this flatbread, I’m really enjoying the flavor and texture of the turkey bacon. Feel free to use normal bacon or even diced prosciutto if you want! OH and along with our bacon, we also have minced up kale that I also got from my neighbor Biz’s garden (she’s seriously the best and so generous with her tasty crops).
Layer 4: Cabot cheddar! Hear me out again… I know that cheddar isn’t necessarily the cheese you think of when you think of pizza or flatbread but GUYS… the sharp flavor of this amazing cheddar pairs so so so nicely with the sweet tomato jam and it’s literally HEAVEN in your mouth. TRUST ME.
Had you ever heard of Cabot Cheese before this? Well if not, they are a cooperative owned by 800 farm families throughout New England & New York and 100% of profits go back to the farmers >> I just love that part! All their cheddars are 100% naturally lactose-free (this blew my mind), aged, and gluten-free! Also, in addition to a full line of cheeses, Cabot makes greek yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, and butter!
SO we’ve got carbs, vegetables, protein, and cheese… sounds like the perfect family friendly meal to me! Recipe time >> kale & turkey bacon flatbread here we come!
kale & turkey bacon flatbread
Ingredients
- 4 slices turkey bacon diced
- 4 naan flatbreads (stonefire are the best)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- healthy pinch salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup tomato jam (homemade or store bought)
- 3 large kale leaves finely chopped
- 8 oz Cabot Vermont Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese shredded
- sprinkle of italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cook your turkey bacon: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced turkey bacon then cook, stirring often, until slightly crispy (about 6-8 minutes).
- Place two flatbreads on each baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the flatbreads with olive oil then sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Top each flatbread with about 2 tbsps of marinara and 2 tbsps of tomato jam (leaving an inch sauce free as the crust), a handful of chopped kale, a handful of turkey bacon, and finally, a large sprinkle of shredded cheddar.
- Place flatbreads in the oven to bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove flatbreads from the oven, sprinkle with italian seasoning, then slice and serve!
