Sausage & Pepper Turnovers

Sausage & Pepper Turnovers:

If you can’t find ground Italian sausage for this recipe you could use cooked sausage chopped into bite-sized pieces instead. The sausage meat can be quite greasy so you’ll want to drain the grease out of the frying pan before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Sausage & Pepper Turnovers
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • ⅓ cup red pepper, diced
  • ⅓ cup green pepper, diced
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ cup chunky salsa
  • 1 can (8 crescents) Pillsbury Original Crescents
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage until thoroughly cooked. Drain grease.
  3. Add onion, peppers, basil and salsa over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles and place on an ungreased baking pan.
  6. Place a spoonful of filling mixture onto each triangle and fold each of the 3 points into the centre over top of the filling. Pinch the points together to seal.
  7. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Another recipe I love that uses Pillsbury dough are these Chicken, Apple & Brie Turnovers. They taste like a homemade pizza pocket and you can substitute the chicken, apple and brie with your favorite pizza toppings instead like pepperoni, mushrooms, tomato sauce and cheese. It’s a yummy lunch idea that kids will love!
