homemade calzones with turkey pepperoni

Pioneer Woman recipes make you feel like somehow your rendition of her recipes will come out looking just as delectable. After about a million tries, my end results on the majority of her recipes  come out looking like, I don’t know. Let’s just say a hot mess.

Oh but those hot messes taste nothing like they look. The tragedy of their final outcome can never be compared to their taste and these homemade calzones were no different.

Telling you now these were a little labor intensive. You’ll start off with some unrisen rolls. If I were you I would make sure to follow the directions and cover them. I heard if you leave them uncovered the tops of them get really hard making it hard to roll them flat.

Heard as in I know.

You’ll be doing a little chopping and after that the rest of the recipe seems to be pretty easy. Don’t beat yourself up if your end result in the looks department leaves a bit to be desired. Manipulating the dough was not an easy task.

Moving away from pork was difficult for me. Much like some of y’all live for bacon, insert pepperoni for me. I finally am able to enjoy my pepperoni again with the discovery of turkey pepperoni.

Nope, not quite the same in the taste department but they are good.

After rolling your dough flat and stuffing with a mixture of cheese and pepperoni  closing it is the most difficult step. If you try this I suggest putting a small amount of filling in. It makes it so much easier to seal the calzone.

Bake for a few minutes and ring the dinner bell. It’s time to eat.
