Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean turkey sausage
• 1 cup Reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Skim milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean turkey sausage, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, whole wheat flour, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, ensuring even distribution of the spices.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the skim milk, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well combined, and the mixture holds together.

Step 5

Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each sausage ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the sausage balls are firm to the touch, cooked through, and golden brown on the outside.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the sausage balls cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. These can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
