- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Divide pizza dough into 4 equal portions. On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 1/4 inch thick circle of about 7 inches in diameter. Place all dough circles onto a non-stick (or lined) baking sheet.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions have begun to soften. Add in the garlic, and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add in the ground turkey, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring to crumble. Stir in the green pepper and taco seasoning mix and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in the salsa. Divide the cooked meat and vegetables into 4 equal servings and spoon each onto 1/2 of a pizza dough circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Top the filling evenly with the shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the pizza dough over the filling and pinch edges closed. Using the tines of a fork, pierce the top of each calzone a few times to let the steam out while cooking.
- Place calzones into the oven, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown. (If planning on freezing all or some of the calzones, par-bake for 10 minutes, let cool completely at room temperature, refrigerate until well-chilled, wrap well in plastic wrap, then place in freezer in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag).
- Meanwhile, prepare the avocado cream by mashing together the avocado flesh, yogurt, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Once cooked, let the calzones sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Slice each calzone in half, and serve with the avocado cream.
