Tex-Mex Calzones

Serve with black bean salad

Ingredients:
8 oz ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup fat-free fire-roasted salsa verde
1 (11-oz) can refrigerated thin-crust pizza dough*
3/4 cup (3 oz) preshredded Mexican blend cheese
Cooking spray
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream


Preheat oven to 425°
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat
Add ground turkey to pan; cook 3 minutes, stirring to crumble
Add onion and next 5 ingredients (through garlic) to pan; cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring mixture occasionally
Remove turkey mixture from heat; stir in salsa
Unroll dough; divide into 4 equal portions
Roll each portion into a 6 x 4–inch rectangle
Working with one rectangle at a time, spoon about 1/2 cup turkey mixture on one side of dough
Top with 3 Tbsps cheese; fold dough over turkey mixture, and press edges together with a fork to seal
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray
Repeat procedure with remaining dough and turkey mixture
Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until browned
Serve with sour cream


*Make sure dough is cold enough - I made the mistake of letting the dough sit on the counter while making up the meat mixture. The dough was very sticky & difficult to work with.
