Sausage & Pepper Calzones

Makes: 6 servings
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 9 minutes
Bake: 15 minutes

Ingredients
3/4 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 medium-size sweet red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/4 cups part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 pounds fresh pizza dough
1-1/2 cups marinara sauce (optional)

Directions
1. Heat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble sausage into skillet and add peppers and onions. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and black pepper; cook for 9 minutes.

3. Remove skillet from heat; drain off any fat. Stir in cheese and tomato sauce.

4. Divide dough into 6 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a 7-inch circle. Place a heaping 2/3 cup filling onto one half of each circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together firmly to seal. Cut 3 slits through tops. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Place calzones on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. Serve with marinara sauce, if desired.
