A good sausage roll is hard to resist, and this lighter version proves you don’t have to sacrifice flavour to create a healthier favourite. Made with lean turkey mince and wrapped in crisp, flaky pastry, these sausage rolls are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, parties or an easy family meal.
Originally developed for Nuttelex, this recipe celebrates wholesome ingredients and everyday cooking. Lean turkey provides plenty of protein, while fresh herbs and aromatics deliver flavour in every bite. They’re just as delicious warm from the oven as they are packed for lunch the next day.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove puff pastry from freezer.
- Preheat oven to 200 C
- Melt 2 tablespoons of Nuttelex in a small saucepan for greasing and pastry.
- Grease a round flan case with a little of the melted Nuttelex. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon Nuttelex in a frypan over a medium heat, sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 10 minutes remove from pan, allow to cool.
- Place turkey mince in a mixing bowl, add cooked onion and garlic, tomato paste, ricotta and fresh herbs and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Lay a defrosted pastry sheet out on a clean board. Spoon some of the turkey mince mix across the top edge of the pastry, to form a sausage shape.
- Now roll pastry over to form a tube, seal with melted Nuttelex, and cut the pastry into bite size pieces, about 2-3cm wide. Repeat this process with remaining pastry until all the mixture is used.
- Place sausage rolls as you go into the lined round flan case in a pattern of your choice.
- Brush the pastry with melted Nuttelex and bake for around 20-25 minutes, cooking time may depend on how tightly packed the flan case is.
- Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing rolls, or let your guests help themselves pull-apart style.
- Serve with fresh tomato sauce, passata, chutney or cranberry sauce.
