Mini Meatball Calzones



My food photography on this one is particularly bad. I'm going to let the notes below speak for themselves :)

Mini Meatball Calzones

Ingredients:
-1 10-oz box of frozen spinach, defrosted and wrung of excess water
-1 lb. ground beef, turkey, or chicken
-chopped onion
-minced or chopped garlic
-2 large eggs
-3/4c. breadcrumbs
-2 c. shredded motz
-salt and pepper
-refrigerated pizza dough
-marinara for dipping

In a bowl, mix together:
EVERYTHING except 1 of the eggs and the marinara. Roll the mixture into meatballs.

Then:
Split your pizza dough into 3" squares or circles.
Place 1 meatball inside each piece of dough and wrap dough around the meatball.
Place mini calzones on a baking sheet and bake at 425 for 15 minutes.
Serve with warmed marinara for dipping.

NOTE: This is a great one for the kids. You can pack all kinds of good stuff into the meat mixture (don't feel limited to what's listed above) and they gobble them up because they are "dippable".
