Drain ricotta in a sieve while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the spinach, cheeses, spices and turkey or chicken. Set aside for flavours to blend. Cut the bread dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8 inch round. Place ¼ of the meat mixture onto bread round (in center). Brush the edges light with water. Fold one side of each round over the filling to form a turnover. Press the edges with a fork to seal. Arrange on ungreased cookie sheet, brush beaten egg yolk over calzone and then bake at 425F for about 15 minutes or until puffed and golden in colour.
