Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven for 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, brush with a
  little olive oil (or use cooking spray) and set aside.
• 2 Form pizza dough into 4 equal-sized balls.
• 3 On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an 8-inch disc.
• 4 Add 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto one-half of the surface of each dough
  round. Set aside remaining sauce to serve on top of the turkey calzones.
• 5 Next, add 4-5 slices of pepperoni, then chopped turkey, peppers, onions, and
  cheese.
• 6 Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling, gently press the
  edges together, and crimp them closed.
• 7 Using an oiled spatula, carefully transfer the calzones to the parchment-lined
  baking sheet
• 8 Using a fork, lightly puncture the calzones to release steam as they cook. Brush
  the tops with olive oil, and place the pan into the oven.
• 9 Bake the turkey calzones for 15-17 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown
  and cooked through.
• 10 Remove calzones from the oven and place them onto a platter. Let them cool for a
  few minutes.
