Italian Sausage Calzone image

My teenage daughter and I have been experimenting in the kitchen to re-create some old-time family dishes. This calzone with spinach and sausage is definitely a favorite. Using a refrigerated pizza crust, it's a cinch to prepare one for us or several for a crowd. -Terri Gallagher, King George, Virginia

I'm not a big fan of calzones, but this recipe changed my mind. The dough was perfectly crispy and the filling was cheesy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the calzone turned out great. I made a few minor changes, such as using ground turkey instead of Italian sausage, and it was still delicious.
