Ham and Cheese Turnovers

Something a little different from weeknight pizza, but just as quick. You can assemble them a day or two ahead and keep in the fridge until you're ready to bake. (recipe from my friend Tracy and Real Simple magazine)

1 lb ball fresh pizza dough, leave it out at room temp for a bit before starting
7 oz thinly sliced ham; Trader Joe's sells a good brand called Applegate Farms
4 oz sliced swiss or gruyere cheese
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings
honey mustard for dipping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide pizza dough into eight pieces, then stretch each one out as far as you can with your fingers. To assemble, sprinkle a few onions on each piece of dough, then top with a rolled slice of ham and a piece of cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and tuck it under to secure. (A little may stick out on each end; filling doesn't need to be completely covered.)

Place turnovers on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.

*This recipe would also work well with other ingredients—I will be trying turkey/cheddar/apple and pepperoni/mushroom/mozzarella combinations in our house soon. Round them out with a big salad on the side.
