Rustic Galette with Turkey Sausage, Eggplant, Tomato and Ricotta

A Galette is a flat round freeform pie. They can be savory or sweet. In this one I just added some of our favorite ingredients. You can make a savory galette with any combination you can think of... They are so easy to make. I use premade pie dough because it a huge time saver but feel free to make your own if you have the time. My son loves it because it is a pizza like food. Galette's are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And dessert galette's are a fast way to make an elegant dessert. Enjoy!
