This Venison, Prosciutto, and Butternut Squash Flatbread is a great appetizer or main dish for dinner! It is so delicious, and I know everyone in your family will love it.

The sauce alone is drool worthy and combined with the rest of the ingredients… HEAVEN!

I will post a **WARNING**. This recipe makes a lot of sauce and meat! BUT- you can use any leftover sauce in a pasta later. Throw it in a bowl with some penne pasta, cheese, and anything else you love, and it makes any easy second dinner/meal!

This recipe came to me in a dream, and I do have to say my husband was a bit skeptical. But I am stubborn, and I knew it sounded good, so I pressed on! And, as much as I loved it, my sweet husband kept asking why I didn’t make more! It is really that good!

This is also a great way to hide vegetables! Your kids will never know the sauce on this pizza came from a squash! If the prosciutto is too daunting for your kiddos, you can easily omit it and just add more venison!

This recipe is truly a crowd pleaser and perfect for the winter and fall! Everyone will be asking for your Venison, Prosciutto, and Butternut Squash Flatbread recipe!

  • 1-1.5 garlic bulbs top chopped off
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 C shredded parmesan
  • 1 tsp ground thyme
  • 1/2 tsp ground sage
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg or more to taste
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1-2 T heavy whipping cream or more until desired creaminess
  • water to thin sauce

Meat

  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Brown Butter Sage Drizzle

  • 4 T salted butter
  • leftover garlic cloves use at least 2 cloves; mash and chop them
  • 8-10 fresh sage leaves

Toppings and Other Ingredients

  • 2-3 Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Dough or your favorite dough
  • flour/cornmeal too help with sticking to countertop
  • 1 package prosciutto
  • caramelized onions**
  • shredded mozzarella
  • shredded parmesan

Instructions

Butternut Squash Sauce

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Place halved deseeded squash on baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it in. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In two separate slices of tin foil place your shallots. Drizzle tops with oil, salt, and pepper. Fully enclose the shallots in the foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Repeat previous instruction with the garlic.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until butternut squash is soft.
  • Place squash, shallot, and garlic (start with 8 cloves) in a blender with a little water and heavy cream. Blend until combined. Add seasonings and parmesan. Blend. Add salt, pepper, garlic cloves, heavy cream and water until desired taste and consistency.

Ground Venison

  • Heat a sauce pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add venison and all seasonings. Cook until browned. Add more seasonings if desired.
  • Set sage on a napkin and reserve butter.

Brown Butter Sage Drizzle

  • Brown butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. While browning, add garlic and sage. The sage should be crispy by the time the butter browns. Remove from heat.

Flatbread Assembly

  • If you haven't heated up your pizza oven already, do so now. If using an oven, follow instruction on the pizza dough container.
  • Flour/Cornmeal a surface and roll out your pizza dough(s).
  • Spread garlic butter on dough. I focused on the edges that would not be covered by sauce.
  • Top with sauce, then cheeses, then meat (venison and prosciutto) and caramelized onions. Finally add a few off the crispy sage leaves.
  • Cook either in oven according to packing directions or in your pizza oven. Every pizza oven is slightly different. We have a Gozney that is powered by propane and it takes about 40 seconds before we need to flip sides or until the charring/leoparding starts to happen.
  • Repeat for as many pizzas as desired! Enjoy!

Notes

*This recipe will make a lot of sauce, but it is delicious! I use my leftovers with leftover meat from this recipe and make a pasta later in the week! This makes life easier for me and makes a second delicious meal your family will love.
 
**This is how I make mine: Slice one onion. In a pan over medium heat melt 1-2 T of butter. Add onion and 1 tsp sugar. Stir until caramelized.
