Ham & Cheese Turnovers

Light dinner or lunch (could even be an appetizer). So easy! and both kids can eat it (a rarity these days b/c of ages).

25 minutes total

1lb of refrigerated pizza dough (TJs has a good one or you can use Pillsbury - so much easier b/c you don't have to roll it out)
8oz of deli ham, thinly sliced
4oz swiss cheese (pepper jack & munster are good too)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped & sautéed in olive oil (you don't have to sauté them, but I think it makes it sweeter)
Served w/ a Side Salad: 2t whole grain mustard,2T evoo, & romaine lettuce (I serve it w/ a homemade lite balsamic dressing)

Directions: Heat oven to 400; Roll out pizza dough & cut into 8 triangles (if you use Pillsbury pizza dough, it'll make about 12-14 triangles); Stack a piece of ham, cheese and onion on each triangle and roll up dough (some of filling will stick out- you can let it or pull wrap it up). They end up looking like Pillsbury croissants. Place triangles on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden; about 15-20 minutes. Done & Delish! Serves 4-6.
