Prep Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, stuffing mix, and cranberry sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Once the puff pastry is thawed, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to ensure it is smooth and even. Cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. You should be able to get about 12 rectangles from one package of puff pastry.
- Take a generous spoonful of the turkey stuffing mixture and place it in the center of each pastry rectangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this may cause the rolls to burst while baking.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are well sealed.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each sausage roll to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Place the filled and sealed pastry rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the sausage rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Serve warm, with additional cranberry sauce on the side for dipping if desired. Enjoy your delicious Turkey Stuffing and Cranberry Puffs!
Tips
- Ensure your puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold for the best texture and rise.
- Don't overfill the pastry - this can cause the rolls to burst during baking.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges, which not only looks professional but also ensures a tight seal.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like sage or thyme to your turkey mixture.
- If you want a deeper golden color, brush the egg wash twice during baking.
- Let the rolls rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before baking - perfect for make-ahead entertaining!
