Turkey Calzones



Ingredients:

3 Jennie-o turkey Italian sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (10 oz) can refrigerated pizza crust
2 tablespoons low-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup pizza cheese
1 (4 oz) can mushrooms
1 (2.25 oz) can black olives
SAUCE
15 oz can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
EGG WASH
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon water

Directions:

1. In a skillet, cook the turkey sausage until cooked through. Add onion, green pepper, and galric; cook over medium heat, drain and set aside.

2. In a saucepan, bring tomato sauce and Italian seasoning to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup of sauce into meat mixture; keep remaining sauce warm.

3. Unroll pizza crust on a floured surface. Roll into a 12 inch circle; cut into 2 sections. Spread ricotta cheese over each section to about 1/2 inch of the edge. Top with meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, mushrooms, and olives.

4. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle; press edges together with a fork to seal.

5. Place on a greased cookie sheet. In a small bowl, combine egg and water, whisk together. Lightly brush over calzones with a pastry brush. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining sauce.
