Description

These Smoked Turkey Calzones offer a hearty, protein-packed dinner that feels like a cozy Italian treat. The filling combines creamy part-skim ricotta, fresh spinach, and sharp parmesan with savory smoked turkey breast and fresh tomato slices. Wrapped in simple pizza dough and baked until golden brown, these calzones deliver a satisfying crunch on the outside and a warm, cheesy interior. They are perfect for busy weeknights or meal-prepping for lunches, as they freeze and reheat beautifully. With easy-to-find ingredients, this dish brings restaurant-quality flavor to your home kitchen with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (191&# 194;°C).
  2. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess liquid thoroughly.
  4. In a bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
  5. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a 6-inch circle on a floured surface.
  6. Spread half of the spinach mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  7. Top the spinach mixture with 1.5 ounces of smoked turkey breast and 2 slices of tomato on each calzone.
  8. Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  9. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal, ensuring no filling leaks out.
  10. Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
