Turkey Calzones


Start to Finish: 48 minutes

Ingredients:
12 ounces boneless cooked turkey breast, chopped (about 2-1/4 cups)
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 cup shredded four-cheese pizza blend (4 oz)
1 (8 oz) can pizza sauce
2 (10 oz) packages refrigerated pizza dough

Directions:
1) In a large bowl combine turkey, spinach, cheese, and 1/2 cup of the sauce. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 package of pizza dough into a 12X10-inch rectangle. Cut into three 10X4-inch rectangles.
2) Place about 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture onto half of each rectangle to within about 1 inch of edge. Moisten edges of dough with water and fold over, forming a square. Press with a fork to seal edges. Prick tops of calzones with a fork; place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and turkey mixture. Bake in a 375 degree F oven about 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining pizza sauce.

Servings: 8

Notes: These are great. They are a good way to get my husband to eat spinach!

Variations: Ground chicken works really well in this as well. You can basically substitute anything in the middle, but spinach works really well with turkey and chicken. Also, I use homemade pizza dough instead of store bought refrigerated dough. It saves money and tastes better.

Estimated Price: $8.00
