Drain tomatoes well , reserving oil.
In a medium bowl , combine the tomatoes , turkey and / or pepperoni , and olives.
Stir in the mozzarella cheese.
On a lightly floured surface , roll each package of pizza dough to a 12 x 9 rectangle.
Using a 3 inch round cutter , cut each rectangle into ten 3 inch circles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the meat / cheese mix slightly off centre on each dough circle.
Fold dough over mixture , forming a semicircle.
Seal the edge of each semicircle with the tines of a fork.

Brush the tops with the reserved oil from tomatoes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and , if desired , cayenne pepper.
