3 jennie-o turkey italian sausage, casings removed

These calzones were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pizza dough to save time, and the filling was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

The dough was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll roll it out thinner next time.

These turkey calzones were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
