1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

In a large skillet, brown the turkey until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and salt. Cook another minute, until fragrant.
3

Unroll the crescents two at a time, keeping them in a rectangle. Press the perforated edges together.
4

Spread a little of the refried beans along half of the crescent dough. You can spread it diagonally to make triangle calzones, or on the lower half to make square calzones.
5

Top with the seasoned meat, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives and scallions.
6

Fold the remaining dough over and pinch to seal, enclosing the filling.
7

Bake for roughly 15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.

Thing is, we don't even have to imagine it. It doesn't have to be a fake memory in our souls. We can make it happen NOW. Why is life so magical? Let's do this.
