Number Of Ingredients 15

3 jennie-o turkey italian sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup pizza cheese
1 (4 oz) can mushrooms

The calzones were good, but I found the dough to be a bit tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
