If you don’t like turkey or haven’t got any cooked turkey to hand, then you could also make this Christmas Calzone using chicken, bacon or ham – just make sure that whichever meat you choose is cooked before you add it to your Calzone!
We think that our Christmas Calzone is perfect when served for lunch or alongside a fresh, mixed salad for dinner, and it’s also suitable for freezing so it’s batch cooking friendly too.
Why not try enjoying it with some of our Christmassy Chutney? The combination of flavours works really well!
Or, if you want to give your Christmas Calzone a tangy twist, then use our Cranberry and Pomegranate Sauce instead of plain cranberry sauce when you’re building your Calzone.
