Ham, Pepper, and Onion Calzones

1 T olive oil
1 med onion, sliced
1 gr bell pepper, seeded & cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded & cut into thin strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 t dried oregano
4 oz deli-thin-sliced lean ham, cut crosswise into thin strips
1 lb refrigerated or thawed frozen pizza dough (or use the full recipe of the pizza dough I just posted, do not use those pop-open tubes of pizza dough, does not give enough dough)
1 c shredded part-skim mozzarella

Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Heat a lg nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Swirl in the oil, then add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and oregano; cook stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-7 min. Stir in the ham and cook 3 minutes; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide in half. Stretch or roll each dough half into a 10-in circle. Spread half the ham mixture over 1/2 of each circle, leaving a 1-in border, then top each 1/2 with of the cheese. Fold the dough over, making a 1/2 circle, and firmly pinch the edges together to seal. Using a spatula, transfer the calzones to the baking sheet. Bake until tops are golden brown about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, then cut each calzone in half, crosswise, to make 4 portions.
1/2 calzone:10pts.

I made these tonight for diner and one of my girlfriends wanted me to send her the recipe, so I posted it. Eric loves these and they are pretty big. It is one WW recipe that he doesn't eat 2 portions even if I am lazy and don't make a side.
