Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 links low-fat turkey sausages
- 1 sheet whole wheat puff pastry dough
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin, even layer. Cut the dough into 8 equal strips.
Wrap each turkey sausage with a strip of dough, starting at one end and spiraling down to the other. Ensure that the dough covers the sausage completely.
Place each wrapped sausage on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down to prevent unwrapping while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each wrapped sausage with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Sprinkle poppy seeds over the top of the pastry-wrapped sausages.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
While the pigs in a blanket bake, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the grainy mustard and honey in a small bowl.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with the honey mustard dipping sauce.
