Directions
- 1Lay parchment paper down and spray well with oil.
- 2Add ground chicken, spray the top, place another parchment sheet over it, and roll into a thin round/oval.
- 3Remove top parchment and clean up edges with a spatula if needed to get the desired shape.
- 4Sprinkle your seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, adobo all-purpose seasoning, and oregano) evenly over the chicken.
- 5Add fillings to one side only: pizza sauce, then mozzarella cheese, then turkey pepperoni.
- 6Use parchment to lift and fold the plain chicken side over the filled side to form the calzone.
- 7Press the edges with a fork to fully seal the calzone.
- 8Spray lightly and add parmesan cheese on top of the calzone.
- 9Trim down the parchment paper and place the calzone on an air fryer tray.
- 10Air fry or bake at 400°F for approximately 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- 11Flip the calzone, spray lightly, add remaining parmesan, and cook until both sides are golden and browned.
- 12Let the cooked calzone sit for a few minutes before cutting to prevent the filling from oozing out.
- 13Top with fresh basil and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
