Must be a calzone thing, after making one Friday, here is another one from a recent issue of Cooking Light. Of course, I can almost never make something exactly as written, although in many cases it is a use what I have situation.
Tex-Mex Calzones
I used ground meat instead of turkey, so I cooked it completely and drained off the fat before adding the vegetables and spices. It looked like a LOT of bell pepper. I added a couple shakes of cayenne/ red pepper, and I also used a red (tomato/chipotle) salsa instead of salsa verde. Finally, because I was making these with my husband in mind, he who doesn't like bread as much as some, I made 2 big ones instead of 4 small ones with the idea that there would be less edges without filling...I know, not really, but perception is everything. I ws tempted to add more cheese, but didn't because it seemed like enough.
I forgot to take a picture of the final product this time. (Oops!) Anyway, I thought it was good, although it only needs about 10 minutes of baking time. Husband thought it was okay but tasted a lot like a soft taco. I think if I make it again I will change some bell pepper for jalapenos. My verdict is that as is, it is very kid friendly, especially if you don't add any red pepper.
