Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams whole wheat puff pastry
- 400 grams lean turkey sausage
- 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 large egg white, beaten
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey sausage, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat puff pastry to a 3-4mm thickness, ensuring it's large enough to accommodate the sausage mixture.
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a long log, placing each one along one edge of the rolled out pastry.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg white, then roll the pastry over the sausage filling to enclose it, pressing the edges to seal and creating two long rolls.
With a sharp knife, cut each log into 6 pieces, making a total of 12 sausage rolls.
Transfer the sausage rolls onto the prepared baking tray, seam side down, and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Sprinkle the rolled oats evenly over the tops of the sausage rolls for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious heart-healthy snack or meal.
