Tex Mex Calzones (Chef Meg's Makeover) (8:29)

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.

I bet these are great, one thing I've found is that ground turkey seems to allow seasonings to really pop unlike ground beef. :D I hardly ever use hamburger meat now.

The idea of changing a wonderful Italian calzone to Tex-Mex is ugly. It is not "fun." I'd like to see some recipes WITHOUT salsa.

I will try this in the near future, but will omit green tomatoes for diced red, instead of chile powder I will add Allspice. Our family doesn't go for really spicey flavors
