Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 500 grams Ground turkey or lean ground pork
• 100 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 2 Whole wheat puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey or pork, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled onion and garlic mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until well combined.

Step 4

Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into two rectangular strips.

Step 5

Place a quarter of the meat mixture along one long edge of each pastry strip. Brush the opposite edge with beaten egg.

Step 6

Carefully roll the pastry over the meat filling, pressing the egg-brushed edge to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining strips.

Step 7

Cut each long roll into smaller bite-sized pieces, approximately 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) each. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
