DiGiorno is selling a Thanksgiving Pizza, which features:  Turkey, gravy sauce, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, mozzarella, cheddar, and some kind of "crispy onion topping."  All that is piled on a thick "Detroit-style crust."

Thanksgiving dinner on a Pizza?

We all love leftovers after the big turkey dinner. Maybe you have two or three meals afterwards for the next couple of days. There's always the turkey sandwich with all the fixin's too, but a Thanksgiving frozen pizza? Well that's exactly what DiGiorno's is coming out with this month for a limited time. I don't know about you, but I'm intrigued. This is something totally new and different that might be worth a try.

We're not suggesting that it replace your annual turkey dinner, but for some people, it might be a nice alternative. What if you're single or don't have a place to celebrate the holiday? Why not make it easy and toss a frozen Thanksgiving pizza in the oven?

What would the sides be?

You would still have some sides with the pizza because some things just wouldn't work in the oven. A little of your favorite cranberry sauce on the side might be nice. How about if you make a gravy to dip the pizza in? That would almost be like a French drip sandwich.  Who's to say you can't other sides as well with it?

This might be a new tradition for people that are not into cooking large dinners or for people that want to try in on a lark. Remember, it's not delivery, it's DiGiorno, so you have to act fast to get yours, but you better act soon because it's for a limited time and they are sure to sell out. And judging by the responses online, people are optimistic that it WON'T taste disgusting.

The pizzas are not in stores.  You'll have to order them online.  DiGiorno is releasing a "limited" number of them every Wednesday through Thanksgiving, starting TODAY.  Each one will cost $11.23.  (That seems random, but this year, Thanksgiving is on the 23rd, or 11/23.)

(Here's a look at this Thanksgiving Pizza concoction.)

People Voted For The Top 10 Celebrities They Would Invite For Thanksgiving Dinner

Who's coming to dinner?

There's an online survey going on that is asking people which celebrity they would most like to invite for Thanksgiving dinner.  I personally would invite the great Martin Short over because he is always the best talk show guest, so he would  have to be a great dinner guest as well. Also, how about Adam Sandler? He could sing the great Thanksgiving Song after dinner!

Sadly they didn't make the top 10, but here's who did.

The Top 10 List revealed

10. Scarlett Johansson, you can ask her to sing, dance or act. Triple threat!

9. Tina Fey, she's funny and smart, always good to keep the conversation going.

8. Tom Hiddleston, Brits are always great guests, plus he's Loki on the Avengers TV series!

7. Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard will do a great job carving the turkey

6. Jennifer Anniston, just to see if she actually eats anything (especially dessert)

5. Hugh Jackman, a great guest your mom will love, he sings, he dances and he's a charmer!

4. Jimmy Fallon, can do great impressions and maybe a standup monologue too, plus he can interview other guests.

3. Meryl Streep, she can pretend to be Julia Child or sing ABBA tunes!

2. Robert Downey, he has to bring his Iron Man suit and fly around the backyard

1. Morgan Freeman, just think, he can say the blessing in the voice of God!
