Cooking Steps
Before starting, remove pizza dough from fridge and rest in a warm spot for 1 hr.Preheat the oven to 475˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Sprinkle both sides of dough with flour. With floured hands, divide dough into two equal pieces (dbl for 4 ppl) on a well-floured surface. Stretch each piece of dough into a 5x8-inch round or oval shape. Set aside to rest on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 8-10 min. (NOTE: Use two baking sheets for 4 ppl).
While the dough rests, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Thinly slice mushrooms. Thinly slice basil.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then turkey, Italian Seasoning, mushrooms, onions, peppers and half the garlic puree. Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-6 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
With floured hands, stretch dough again into large oval shapes. (NOTE: The dough should now hold its shape.) Spread marinara sauce across bottom half of each piece of dough. Using a slotted spoon, top marinara with turkey mixture, then sprinkle cheese and basil over top. Fold over top of dough over filling, then crimp edges to seal. Brush 1 tsp oil over each calzone, then make one small slit on the top of each calzone using a knife.
Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 22-25 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, bake in the middle and the top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through cooking.) While calzones bake, add mayo, sour cream and remaining garlic puree to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Allow calzones to cool slightly before serving, 3-4 min. Divide calzones between plates. Serve garlic dip alongside.
