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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place each wrapped sausage on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down to prevent unwrapping while baking.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water to create an egg wash.
Step 6
Brush the top of each wrapped sausage with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Step 7
Sprinkle poppy seeds over the top of the pastry-wrapped sausages.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
Step 9
While the pigs in a blanket bake, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the grainy mustard and honey in a small bowl.
Step 10
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm with the honey mustard dipping sauce.
