Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 400 grams lean turkey sausage
• 100 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Place 4 of the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely, then peel.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the turkey sausage, low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the sausage mixture into 4 equal portions.

Step 5

Carefully wrap each peeled egg with a portion of the sausage mixture, making sure the entire egg is covered and the mixture is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spread the whole wheat breadcrumbs on a flat plate.

Step 7

Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a shallow bowl.

Step 8

Gently roll each sausage-covered egg in the beaten eggs, shaking off the excess, and then coat evenly with the whole wheat breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Place the prepared eggs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the Scotch eggs with olive oil.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the outside is golden brown.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly before serving. These Scotch eggs can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
