Tex Mex Calzones

Submitted by: CHEF_MEG
Tex Mex Calzones

Introduction

An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal. An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 pound ground turkey, extra lean
    1/2 c onion, chopped fine
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3/4 t ground cumin
    1 1/2 t dark chili powder
    1/2 c red bell pepper, chopped fine
    3/4 c salsa verde, fire roasted
    1 (11 oz) can pizza dough, refrigerated, thin crust (use whole wheat if you can find it)
    1 c Mexican blend cheese, shredded
    1 egg white, beaten

Tips


Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Adjust oven rack to upper third of the oven.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook 5 minutes, stirring to crumble. Add onion and garlic; continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
Add spices and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices. Add chopped pepper; continue to cook 1 minute.
Remove mixture from heat and stir in salsa.
Unroll dough and divide into 4 equal portions. Working with one rectangle at a time place, 1/2 cup of turkey mixture on half of the dough then top with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Using a pastry brush or fingers, brush the egg mixture on the border of the dough. Fold dough over turkey mixture and press with a fork to seal. If you prefer a crisp crust, brush some additional egg wash over the top of the calzone.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Lower Carb Suggestion: Individual Serving
Place 1/2 cup of turkey mixture into an oven safe ramekin dish. Top with cheese and a quarter size portion of the dough. Bake 10 minutes.

    Just Fyi since I am Latin American... A Calzone in spanish and to a Tex-Mexer means "underware". We already have a name in spanish for this kind of dish it is called an Empanada and can be filled with fruit but in South America and Cuba they are usually filled with meats and cheese. :) - 9/29/09

    I switched it up a bit, used tofu, increased spice slightly, used Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, and 2% cheese and skim Mozzarella [1/2 & 1/2]. It was Yummy, and a hit in the house! - 9/13/09

    Very tasty! I had to count up the calories of the ingredients for myself because I couldn't believe something this good and filling could be low calorie. I agree with leaving out the cheese, though... it melted so much it kind of disappeared. But I didn't miss it. It was great! - 8/28/09

    You could also cut some of the fat & calories by using low-fat cheese. I'd add more veggies to increase the fiber, maybe replace some of the turkey with black beans to cut more calorie. - 8/19/09

    I'll head to Trader Joe's to get the whole wheat pizza dough for next time. This time I improvised by using bisquick dough. this makes it less healthy and higher calories. The result was like a Cornish pasty. YUM. I also used 2% cheese. I couldn't taste the cheese so I will omit next time. - 9/27/09

    Good recipe, but I agree that its high in sodium.
    To reduce sodium, make your own salsa & choose cheese that isn't mexican blend.
    For those of you saying it's not that high, its nearly 50% of your daily recommended. At one sitting, that is VERY high! Some have health reasons for wanting it lower. - 10/27/09

    The cheese got lost in the filling, it was a waste of calories. Also, if there's only 2 T cheese per calzone, that adds up to 1/2 cup, but the recipe calls for a full cup. I'd rather some sour cream or guacamole on the side. Otherwise, this tasted great! - 5/26/10

    I thought the meat to veggie ratio in this dish was way off - far too much meat. Also, if you use 1 pound of meat, & you are supposed to put only 4 times 1/2 cup of filling into the calzones, you end up with tons of filling left over! Not a well-planned recipe at all. I will not make this again. - 5/24/10

    It was a pain in my rear to make, I had a lot of trouble with the pizza dough. But in the end it turned out okay, even though it looked like a 7 year old attempted to make it LOL. - 1/22/10

    IT IS A TERRIFIC RECIPE. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO CAN TELL THE TURKEY BURGER FROM THE HAMBURGER. ESPECIALLY WITH THE SPICES. USE EXTRA LOW CAL CHEESE AND FF SOUR CREAM. IT IS GREAT! THANKS. - 9/29/09

    This was excellent! My only problem was with the crust. It seemed I had too much filling to put in the specified amount. They weren't very pretty, but they were delicious! - 4/3/13

    The entire family liked this recipe. We had some french bread as a side. It's hard for me to find food with any flavor that my nine year old son will eat and enjoy. This was a keeper recipe! - 2/12/13

    My family loved this, and we were dreaming up a variety of ingredients for future "calzones" while eating them! My son thinks we should have chicken quesadilla ones next. I did use the whole wheat thin pizza crust recipe as well, and my hubby was very impressed. Thanks! - 2/4/13

    Tastey, quick and easy recipe. I might try my own dough next time or the one recommended below - a whole wheat thin crust on Spark People. - 2/3/13

    It was delicious. Smelled and looked beautiful. I had a lot of meat left over after scooping what it said to scoop onto the dough so if you are capable of scooping more, u should! I think the cheese was necessary because it balanced the spice but that is my personal preference. - 11/11/12

    For those worried about the salt, you may be surprised that a major source of sodium is the pizza crust dough. Type that into the recipe calculator, one serving is 420 mg by itself. Then the salsa, and the cheese as already mentioned. - 10/20/12

    I am going to have to try this yet hence no rating. I love the ones they have a pizza hut but they are too fatty. - 10/12/12

    I made this dish and it was delicious. However, is it just me or did anyone else find that there was more than just four 1/2 cup portions of the meat mixture. I had meat left over and used more than 1/2 cup for each calzone and they were huge. Will make it again! Maybe needs a little more flavor - 9/15/12

    We really liked this recipe! Will def make this again! My only confusion was that the recipe states 1 C of cheese but in directions says 2 T of cheese per calzone...s/b 4 T to = 1 Cup, right? Calories is for 2 oz which is right it if you divide up the cup of cheese among 4 calzones. :) - 7/12/12
