WEIGHT WATCHER CALZONES
Ingredients:
For the Dough (makes 2 calzones):
- 1 cup self-rising flour (you can use whole wheat or all-purpose)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sautéed and drained spinach or other vegetables of your choice
- 4 ounces lean ground turkey or chicken, cooked and seasoned with Italian spices
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce (use a low-sugar or sugar-free option)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, plain Greek yogurt, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently for a few minutes.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll out each dough ball into a circle (about 8 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface. You can make the circles as thin or thick as you prefer.
- In a separate bowl, mix the part-skim ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, sautéed spinach or other vegetables, and cooked ground turkey or chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place half of the filling mixture on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, and you can crimp them with a fork for a decorative touch.
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for a few minutes.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then carefully transfer the calzones into the basket.
- Cook the calzones in the air fryer at 370°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the calzones with marinara sauce for dipping.
