Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or 425°F.
Lightly spray a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil, just enough to coat the bottom, and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray with olive oil, then brown the lean chicken or turkey sausages for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning. They don’t need to cook through at this stage.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the skim milk, egg whites, and whole egg until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Place the browned sausages into the prepared baking dish, spacing them out evenly.
Quickly pour the batter over the sausages, ensuring they are well-coated but still visible.
Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the batter is golden, puffed, and set.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a light gravy for the perfect low-fat comfort meal.
