Pigs In A Blanket All Grown Up

Ingredients

4 links turkey Italian sausage

4 rectangles pizza dough

cups pizza sauce

2 tablespoons Pecorino Romano

Preparation

Prepare pizza dough and preheat oven to 400F.

Bring a medium pot of water to boil and cook sausages until nearly done, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausages to a non stick skillet, heated over medium heat and brown.

Cut rectangles of pizza dough so that ends of the sausage will stick out. Sprinkle each rectangle with 1/2 tablespoon Pecorino. Place the sausages on the dough and roll so that the dough just overlaps. Coat the end with a little water and seal.

Place the pigs in a blanket on a baking pan sprayed with non-stick and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Plate and top with 1/3 cup sauce.

About

This grown up version uses turkey Italian sausage rolled in home-made whole wheat pizza dough with some Pecorino Romano and topped with home-made pizza sauce (a slightly cooked-down marinara). I served it with some roasted eggplant slices topped with a little fontina. It was delicious and only 232 calories with 11 grams of fat and 2 of fiber.
