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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Unroll the reduced-fat crescent roll dough on a cutting board. Separate into the perforated triangles, giving you a total of 8 triangles.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Starting at the wide edge, roll up each dough triangle over the sausage to form a crescent shape, ensuring the sausage is enclosed.

Step 7

Brush the tops of each rolled croissant with the remaining egg wash, then sprinkle a small pinch of grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 8

Place the prepared croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven until the croissants are golden brown and the dough is cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the croissants warm. These can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a light salad for a fuller meal.
