Spray grill with cooking spray. Place naan over hot coals and grill 2 minutes per side, or until puffed and lightly browned. Top each pizza with 1/4 turkey mixture and 1/4 sliced green onion, carrot sticks and bean sprouts. Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp (15mL) cilantro and 1/4 of the shredded cheese. Cover, grill and heat 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
Tip: You can also use leftover turkey for this recipe! The shredded turkey breast will make more than what is needed for this recipe. Use extra turkey as a quick protein on a salad or in a soup.
