Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube Reduced-fat crescent roll dough
- 8 links Chicken or turkey sausage, low fat
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut each sausage link in half to make a total of 16 pieces.
Unroll the reduced-fat crescent roll dough on a cutting board. Separate into the perforated triangles, giving you a total of 8 triangles.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Place two sausage halves along the wider edge of each crescent dough triangle. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with the spiced egg wash.
Starting at the wide edge, roll up each dough triangle over the sausage to form a crescent shape, ensuring the sausage is enclosed.
Brush the tops of each rolled croissant with the remaining egg wash, then sprinkle a small pinch of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Place the prepared croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the croissants are golden brown and the dough is cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
Serve the croissants warm. These can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a light salad for a fuller meal.
