Sausage Rolls

Turkey Sausage Rolls

These are one of our most favourite appetizers I make at our house. I came up with this idea as a way to have a snack that tastes like it is really bad for you (read: yummy) but is actually not too high in calories. The trick to is is make the pastry really thin, because that is where the majority of the calories lie. These sausage rolls are so easy to make and so delicious that you'll never want the store-bought frozen variety again!



INGREDIENTS

1 package frozen Puff pastry (2 blocks per package)

450g Ground turkey

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
3. Remove sausage meat from their casings into a large bowl.
4. Add ground turkey to bowl.
5. Slowly add garlic, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning, mix it well by hand.
6. Note: It is extremely important to mix thoroughly!
7. Set aside and cover.
8. Roll out puff pastry blocks, I roll them really thin as to cut back on the pastry per sausage roll.
9. Cut pastry into approx 3”X12” strips. I get about 3 strips of 3”X14” per pastry block. 
10. Roll sausage filling into 1” round tubes, and the same length as the pastry.
11. Place onto pastry strips and roll into sausage rolls.
12. Cut to desired lengths.

14. In small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; brush over rolls. (egg wash)
