Here is my "recipe"... I wish I had pics...but I just did not know it was going to turn out so good!
I started with my favorite French Bread pizza dough. (recipe to be posted later)
Divide dough in half. For each half:
Roll one portion out into about a 12x15 rectangle.
Brush with about 2 T melted garlic butter (I just pressed one clove of garlic into 3 T butter, and melted it in the micro. Save a bit for the top.)
Sprinkle with about 1/4 lb grated mozzarella cheese.
Down the middle, evenly spread leftover turkey chunks (I think I used about 1 cup on each calzone)
On the adult half, add some diced onion and spinach (mine was about 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed)
With a knife, make slash marks about 3 inches in toward the center of the calzone--about 2 inches apart, all down the long side of your dough. Fold them in toward the center, somewhat in a braided fashion. Fold ends under to seal. Brush the top with a bit more garlic butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Bake on a pre-heated baking stone for about 15 min. at 425.
It was devoured. There was one slice left which I hoarded for my lunch...
For once, I won't force the kiddos to eat their spinach...I'll gladly accept the responsibility. :)

Another way to use up the turkey at Thanksgiving! Bring your recipe!
Beautiful. I may also try it with some low-fat Italian turkey sausage.
Thank you.
Thanks for the idea! I'm going to make up a bunch of calzones and put them in the freezer to be pulled out for Sam's lunches!
