Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams lean turkey sausage
- 250 grams whole wheat puff pastry
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon skimmed milk
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the turkey sausage, sautéed onion mixture, fresh thyme, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm.
Cut the pastry into rectangles approximately 10cm x 6cm.
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture onto one end of each rectangle and roll up to enclose the filling, sealing the edges with a little water.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the skimmed milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy mini sausage rolls.
