I tried a new recipe last night and liked it so much, I thought I'd share it with you. I saved a few carbs by not going the 'calzone' route. Instead, I put it on a plate, like taco salad, with lettuce and a dab of lite sour cream on top. I love the flavors, and the best part was it was ready in less than 30 minutes. Next time, I think I'll throw in a few black beans. Enjoy!Tex Mex Calzones9 oz. ground turkey breast (I used extra lean)
