Easy Turkey Stromboli

This is a really easy dish to make. It is from the April 2009 Parents Magazine. I'll try to add a picture the next time we have it.

1 pkg (10 oz.) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 pkg (11 oz.) refrigerated thin crust pizza crust
1 cup pasta sauce, divided (You can use as much as you like....I don't measure. We used the Heart Healthy Prego Pasta Sauce.)
2 tsp low fat milk
1/2 cup shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend
2 tsp grated Parmesan
1 lb. turkey-breast tenderloins, cut into strips (I have used ground turkey and that works well too. If you aren't a fan of turkey, I am sure chicken would be delicious too!)


1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Boil a cup of water on medium in a large skillet; add turkey and return to boiling. Cover; simmer 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then chop.
3. Unroll crust into a 14"x12" rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet (I just greased my pan).
4. Spoon half the sauce (or as much as you'd like) down the center, lengthwise, leaving 3" on either side.
5. Layer spinach, turkey, and cheese over sauce.
6. Cut 12 strips on both sides of crust. Fold strips over filling, so they overlap. (I usually do eight strips, or none at all.)
7. Brush with milk and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake for 12 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce. (I don't know if it takes exactly twelve minutes or not....I just keep an eye on it as we like the crust crispy.)

I copied this part from another blog:
