Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray or use a sil pat.  Roll dough into 10×14 inch triangle.  In a small bowl, combine butter, olive oil and seasoning.  Brush dough with butter, olive oil and spice mixture. 

Layer ham, mozzarella cheese, turkey and cheddar cheese lengthwise over half of dough to ½ inch of edges.  Fold dough over and pinch firmly to seal.  Brush with remaining butter and olive oil mixture.  

Bake at 400 degrees F. for 13-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Cut into one inch slices and serve with warmed marinara or pizza sauce.  Serve 4.
