These are the perfect dish when you are craving something unhealthy but don't want to actually be too unhealthy. Since I found the recipe through http://www.sparkpeople.com/ I figured it couldn't be too bad. (And they were tasty!) Excuse the nasty picture of the plate but I wanted you to see how it looks on the inside.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook 5 minutes, stirring to crumble. Add onion and garlic; continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add spices and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.

Unroll dough and divide into 4 equal portions. Working with one rectangle at a time place, 1/2 cup of turkey mixture on half of the dough then top with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
