Ingredients:

Cooked and Crumbled Fresh Italian Sausage
Ricotta Cheese
Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
Cartichoke Hearts (jarred or canned)
Chopped Sun-dried Tomatoes
Lemon Zest
Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
Pizza Dough

Additional Items:

• Food Processor
• Griddle Topper (if using a grill)
• All-purpose Flour (for dusting)

Directions:

Prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill.
When ready to grill, divide the dough into 4 portions.
Roll them into rounds about 6 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.
In a food processor bowl, combine the sausage, ricotta, Romano, fontina, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Pulse to combine.
The mixture should be chunky.
Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into the center of each circle of dough, spreading to within 1-inch of the edge.
Fold over each circle of the dough to form a half-moon.
Crimp the dough edges to seal in the stuffing.
Place the calzones directly on the grill grates or on a hot cast iron griddle and grill for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
Serve at once.
