Broccoli and Sausage Focaccia

In a hurry? This is a great fast dinner everyone will love.
NEED:
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian turkey or pork sausage, casings removed
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 (13.2 oz.) tube Italian bread dough
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
1 cup chopped broccoli, thawed or cooked, patted dry

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil on medium-high heat. Cook sausage, stirring and breaking apart, until crumbled, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a plate. Put 1 Tbsp. oil and onion in skillet; cook on medium heat, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add to sausage and let cool.

Lower oven rack to bottom; preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; sprinkle with a little cornmeal or flour. Unroll dough onto pan without stretching. Sprinkle on 1 Tbsp. Parmesan. Spread sausage, onion and broccoli on top, pressing down slightly. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbsp. Parmesan on top.

Bake until nicely browned on edges and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cut into rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
**Be creative. You can take this simple recipe and use your favorite toppings and make something great.**

ENJOY!
