Turkish Lamb Galette
Well, it’s official.
We are 34.
And ya know what? It feeeeeels good, damn good. You would think being closer to forty would cause terror and anxiety, but we feel the exact opposite. We are more content and happy than we have felt in a long time. A large part of this is because we've weeded out the drama, invested in myself, and learned that there is no time like the present. Can we get a high-five?
Anyway, Saturday was our actual birthday and we spent the day doing simply things that just made us happy. Going to brunch, shopping at Nordies, sipping bubbles at 5pm, and watching the love of our life make us a special birthday pizza. Oh! And we can’t wait to show what Mr. B got us for our birthday. We are still freaking out about it and can’t wait to show you. The “thing” arrives tomorrow so stay tuned!
Okay, before we forget we should probably talk about today’s recipe, huh? A traditional galette is typically filled with dessert like ingredients. But as a savory enthusiast, we think there is room at the table for savory pie. Enter this Turkish Lamb Galette. It’s like a pizza, but way better. Sun dried tomatoes, ground lamb, cumin, paprika, and hot cherry peppers give this galette a burst of flavor.
Plus, it’s embarrassingly easily to put together. Roll out the pie dough, top it with the lamb mixture, add cheese, form the galette border and bake. This Turkish Lamb Galette is worthy of being center stage at any occasion or make it official by whipping it up for dinner tonight. Either way, it will taste flipping good!

Turkish Lamb Galette
Yield: Makes one 9-inch piePrep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil 1 lb ground lamb 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 cup chopped red onion 2 tbsp drained and chopped sun dried tomatoes 2 hot cherry peppers, diced 2 tsp ground paprika 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 store bought 9-inch pie crust, thawed 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella 1/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese 1 egg whisked Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large skillet preheated to medium high heat add the olive oil, ground lamb, salt, and pepper. Using a wooden spoon break up the ground lamb and cook until no longer pink about four to five minutes. Next, add in the garlic and let it cook for a minute or two. Then add the red onion and sauté until softened about three minutes. Next, add in the sun dried tomatoes, hot cherry peppers, paprika, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Stir to make sure all the ingredients are combined. Continue to sauté for another couple of minutes. Roll the pie crust out on the prepared baking sheet. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the lamb mixture into the center of the pie crust leaving a one inch border. You might have some mixture leftover and that’s okay. Use the leftovers up in some scrambled eggs! Top with lamb mixture with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Fold the pie crust in towards the filling creating a rustic border. Brush the galette with the egg wash and then bake for about 20 minutes or until the galette is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley! All images and text ©Fisiz for Fisiz
