I know....it's not even Thanksgiving and we're talking about leftovers.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> But, we will have them so let's plan! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
These can also be made without the pizza sauce. Or how about adding some hot wing sauce? Yummmm.....I'm going to give that a try! I LOVE hot!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
Turkey & Spinach Calzones 3 cups cooked turkey chopped (about 3 cups)
2-1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach (or frozen, defrosted and drained well!)
1-1/2 cups shredded pizza cheese (6 ounces)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 10-ounce packages refrigerated pizza dough (each for 1 crust)
milk
Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)
Pizza sauce, warmed (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, In a large bowl, combine turkey, spinach, pizza cheese, and the 1/2 cup pizza sauce. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 package of the pizza dough to a 12-inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares.
2. Place about 2/3 cup of the turkey mixture onto half of each square, spreading to within about 1/2 inch of edge. Moisten edges of dough with water and fold over, forming a triangle or rectangle. Pinch or press with a fork to seal edges. Prick tops of calzones with a fork; brush with milk. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and turkey mixture.
3. If desired, sprinkle tops of calzones with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Bake about 18 minutes or until golden. Transfer calzones to wire rack; cool. Transfer calzones to an ungreased baking sheet. Can freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To serve, thaw calzones overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Unwrap calzones and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake calzones, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through. If desired, serve with warmed pizza sauce if desired.
Makes about 8 calzones.
