⭐ Low-Syn Turkey Sausage Rolls

Makes: 20 small bites (approx. ½ syn each*)
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 25–30 mins

Syns note: Most ready-rolled light puff pastries are ~10–15 syns for the whole sheet.
Divide by how many rolls you make to get your exact syn count.

Ingredients

  • 500g turkey mince (2% fat or less)

  • 1 small onion, very finely grated or minced

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional but delicious)

  • 1 tsp dried sage (or mixed herbs)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 egg, beaten (half for binding, half for brushing)

  • 1 sheet light puff pastry (ready-rolled)

  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Make the filling:
    In a bowl, mix turkey mince, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sage, salt, pepper, and ½ beaten egg until well combined.
    TIP: Chill 10–15 mins — helps the mix firm up and shape easier.

  3. Prepare pastry:
    Unroll your pastry sheet and cut lengthwise into 2 long strips.

  4. Form the sausage meat:
    Divide turkey mince into 2 equal portions.
    Shape each portion into a long sausage log along the center of each pastry strip.

  5. Roll up:
    Fold pastry over the mince, seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
    Make sure the seam is underneath so they don’t open while baking.

  6. Slice:
    Cut each long roll into 10 bite-size pieces (20 total).

  7. Egg wash & vent:
    Brush tops with remaining beaten egg.
    Use a sharp knife to make a small slit on top of each roll (lets steam escape & crisps better).

  8. Bake:
    Place on tray and cook 25–30 minutes until golden brown and the turkey is fully cooked.

  9. Cool slightly before serving — the filling gets juicier once it settles!
