These low carb turkey calzones make a great meal with left over roasted turkey and are a gluten free calzone too.

I made these calzones with a Fathead dough as I already have a low carb calzone recipe using a low carb pastry. Since we often enjoy a low carb pizza made with Fathead dough, it was time to make a calzone with it. After all, a calzone is basically a stuffed pizza!

Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 20 Minutes | Total Time: 35 Minutes | Servings: 4 Calzones | Calories: 481 kcal

INGREDIENTS:

Calzone Dough:

• 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese grated
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 medium egg
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Filling:

• 2 cups roasted turkey cut into cubes
• 4 tablespoons Marinara sauce low carb
• 2 oz Parmesan cheese grated
• 2 oz Mozzarella cheese grated
• 1 egg wash for brushing calzones

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat the oven to 220C/425F degrees.
• Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl. Either zap in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and zap for another 30 seconds. If the mixture has not melted give it another blast in the microwave.
• If you don’t have a microwave, place the bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and stir until melted.
• Once the cheese has melted, add the egg, baking powder and almond flour.
• Stir until you have a dough mixture. Don’t be shy about using your hands to mix the dough. If it feels too sticky, add more almond flour.
• Cut the dough into 4 pieces and place a quarter of the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, then lay another piece of parchment paper on top.
• Roll out the dough into a circular shape. Remove the top baking paper and cut out a circular shape. I use a small saucepan lid. Repeat for all dough pieces.
• Mix the turkey with the Marinara sauce.
• Spoon the turkey mixture onto half of the circular dough.
• Scatter the Parmesan cheese on top of the turkey, then the Mozzarella.
• Gently fold the other half of the calzone dough over the filling and press the edges together so that they are sealed.
• Place the calzones on a parchment paper lined baking tray and brush with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20 minutes until golden
• Eat and enjoy!
