My take on the party classic. Juicy turkey sausage wrapped in a flakey cheesy blanket. A simple 30 minute snack that’s too easy not to make! Made in the air fryer or traditional oven, it’s amazing either way. This version of pigs in a blanket will quickly become a favorite.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer optional

Ingredients

  • 1 roll puff pastry I used jus-rol
  • 3 turkey sausage links fully cooked
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard plus more for dipping
  • 1 tsp fennel seed ground
  • 1 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1/2 tsp poppy seeds

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Roll out the puff pastry and divided into 3 equal parts matching the length of the turkey sausage.
  • Spread out an even layer of honey mustard.
  • Sprinkle on some fennel and black pepper.
  • Add sliced mozzarella cheese and finally the whole fully cooked turkey sausage link.
  • Roll up as tightly as possible and press to seal at the seam.
  • Cut into equal pieces and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Repeat with remaining puff pastry and sausage links.
  • Whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash.
  • Brush egg wash onto each piece and top with poppy seeds.

Regular Oven

  • Bake at 425F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Air Fryer

  • Bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • TIP:when baking in the air fryer it’s best to use a liner considering most baskets or trays have holes. This will prevent the dough from seeping through and cook evenly.
  • Serve with a side of honey mustard and enjoy!
