Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, or per the pre-made pizza dough instructions.
Ask the hotline about this step!Coat a baking pan with cooking spray, and then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the whole wheat flour on the pan. Remove the dough from the package, unroll it, and lay it flat on the flour. Sprinkle the side facing you with another 1/4 cup of flour. This will help the dough be a little more "workable" and also gives it a less, err, store bought appearance. Repeat with the other package of dough.
Ask the hotline about this step!Meanwhile, prepare the cheese filling by mixing the ricotta, feta, minced garlic, spinach and green onions. Sprinkle with some hefty pinches of salt and pepper. Divide the mixture in half and spread across the center of the dough. Repeat with the other dough.
Ask the hotline about this step!Then, begin topping the cheese mixture with all the remaining ingredients. Split the turkey, olives, artichokes, yellow peppers and tomatoes in half, layering them over the ricotta and feta spread on each piece of dough, make sure you are distributing even amounts of turkey and veggies on each calzone. Sprinkle with some generous portions of salt and pepper.
Ask the hotline about this step!To close the calzone, first bring in left and right edges so that the corners are fully secure. Then, take the top and bottom of the dough to completely cover the veggies. Where the two edges meet, create a "crest" by rolling the edges together downwards.
Ask the hotline about this step!Take your egg, beat it in a ramekin, and brush it all over the top of the dough to give it that nice, challah-esque sheen.
Ask the hotline about this step!Once you're done with your egg wash, take a knife and poke four slits along each side of the calzone so steam can escape and not water down the ingredients.
Ask the hotline about this step!Place each calzone on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until it becomes golden brown.
Ask the hotline about this step!Once removed from the oven, drizzle a generous amount of pesto over each calzone, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and serve immediately. These things are huge, so be sure you split them in half to satisfy four hungry people.
Ask the hotline about this step!These sound DELISH and YAY for CHEATING! I would happily slide into a food coma with these ...
