Bacon-Wrapped Sausages
A leaner take on the party favourite: chicken or turkey sausages wrapped in lean turkey bacon and oven-baked (not fried), served with veg instead of on their own.
Estimated. Worked out from the ingredients using the UK food composition tables, so treat it as a guide rather than a measurement. A typical recipe lands within about a quarter of the true figure. Makes about 4.
Ingredients
- 4 lean chicken or turkey sausages
- 4 slices lean turkey bacon (or trimmed back bacon)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Black pepper
- To serve: 2 cups mixed vegetable sticks or a green salad
Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a tray.
Wrap each sausage in a slice of turkey bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Brush lightly with olive oil and dust with smoked paprika and pepper.
Bake 20–25 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and golden.
Rest a couple of minutes, then serve with the vegetables or salad.
Optional Enhancements
- Use good-quality lean pork sausages if preferred
- Roast cherry tomatoes and peppers alongside
- Serve in a wholegrain wrap with salad for a fuller meal
Storing & Freezing
Fridge up to 3 days; reheat in the oven. Not suitable for freezing once cooked.
