Line a large baking sheet with foil. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add taco (or Southwest) seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and water and bring to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in beans. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch each piece into a 6-inch circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. For each calzone, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on one half, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with about 2/3 cup filling. Brush the border with water. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut several small slits in the tops to vent steam. Brush the calzones with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake the calzones until browned on top, about 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. To make ahead: Refrigerate filling (Step 2) for up to 2 days.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
