Equipment

Baking sheet
Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
½ cup panko
2 large eggs divided
1 small onion minced fine
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley)
1 teasoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 package frozen puff pastry thawed according to the directions on the package
1 Tablespoon milk or water

Instructions

Prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Heat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, panko, one of the eggs, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until uniformly mixed (I find it's easiest to do this with my hands, but you can use a spoon if you like).
Following the directions on the puff pastry, roll it out so that it's a long, narrow rectangle (depending on how your pastry was packaged, you may need to cut it - you want each rectangle to be about 6 inches wide).
Spread the turkey mixture in a log along the center of the pastry, all the way to the ends. Fold each side of the pastry over the meat, then flip the whole thing over so that the seam is on the bottom.
If you want to make snack or small meal-sized sausage rolls, cut the log into 5-6 inch pieces. If you want to make appetizer or hors d'oeuvres-sized sausage rolls, cut the log into roughly 2 inch pieces (note that the sausage rolls will shrink slightly while baking). Place the cut sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet, at least 1 inch apart. With a paring knife, cut small slits (about ½ - 1 inch) into the puff pastry, being careful not to cut all the way across the roll.
Lightly beat the remaining egg with the milk or water. Brush the sausage rolls with the beaten egg mixture. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. Serve hot.
Note on freezing: the sausage rolls can be assembled to the end of step 5 and then frozen. Simply thaw in the fridge, then continue with the remaining step. Alternatively, they can be fully cooked and then frozen. For best results, thaw before reheating. Re-heat in the oven at 300-350°F for 10-20 minutes. I like reheating mine in the toaster oven.
