Tex Mex Calzone
Serves: 4 + (I leave any leftover after I use 1/2 cup for the filling for each calzone as my kids' dinner. They aren't big in to calzones and will eat the filling just as it.)
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp onion powder
3/4 t ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 c red bell pepper, chopped fine
1-2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 (11 oz) can pizza dough, refrigerated, thin crust
1 c Weight Watcher's Mexican blend cheese, shredded
1 egg white, beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook 5 minutes, stirring to crumble. 3. Add onion powder and garlic; continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
4. Add spices and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices. Add chopped pepper; continue to cook 1 minute.
5. Remove mixture from heat and stir in tomato paste.
6. Unroll dough and divide into 4 equal portions. Working with one rectangle at a time place, 1/2 cup of turkey mixture on half of the dough then top with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
7. Using a pastry brush or fingers, brush the egg mixture on the border of the dough. Fold dough over turkey mixture and press with a fork to seal. If you prefer a crisp crust, brush some additional egg wash over the top of the calzone.
8. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
