Chicken Sausage Rolls

Delicious sausage rolls made easy with just five ingredients including chicken sausages and tortilla wraps. No pastry needed!

Sausage Rolls… you just can’t beat them! They’re a firm favourite in this house, loved by adults and kids and perfect for a quick and easy lunch or even afternoon snack when the kids get in from school.

But whilst I love the taste of a freshly cooked sausage roll that’s encased with lots of buttery puff pastry, unfortunately they aren’t that healthy.

So I wanted to make something that was a little healthier so that we could enjoy our favourite snack a bit more regularly. As well as making sure it was an easy recipe!

Last Christmas I made this lightened up version of sausage rolls using turkey sausages, chutney and tortilla wraps instead of pastry.

Why You’ll Love These Easy Sausage Rolls!

It may seem a little strange to use a wrap instead of puff pastry sheets but trust me it really works. The wraps gets really crispy in the oven and you won’t miss the pastry at all.

And as for using a chicken filling in the sausage rolls instead of the more traditional filling ingredients of pork sausage, then I promise you this recipe will convert you!

I used chicken sausages in this recipe. I love the Tesco owned brand ones but any chicken or turkey sausages will work just fine.

These ones are the plain chicken ones, but there are loads of flavoured ones out there too that could experiment with!

You could of course use ground chicken for the sausage roll filling, but to be honest, using chicken sausage meat is far easier! And they are already flavoured with seasoning so need to add your own!

How To Make Sausage Rolls Without Pastry

Firstly, remove the skins and mash them in a bowl with a fork.

Next take a wrap and place it on a chopping board.

Add half of the sausage mixture to the wrap, just right of centre.

Starting on the right hand side, fold the wrap up as tightly as you can, making sure to finish seal side down.

Cut off the ends of the wrap with a sharp knife and then cut into six sausage rolls. Repeat with the second wrap and the remainder of the the sausage mixture.

Place all the sausage rolls onto the baking tray making sure you’ve lined the tray with parchment paper first.

Lightly beat the egg in the cup or bowl and using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the top of the sausage rolls. Finally add some sesame seeds on top.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the sausage meat has cooked all the way through.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS

Sausages – I used chicken sausages in this recipe but turkey sausages will work just the same. You can of course use pork sausages if you prefer or even veggies sausages too.

Tortilla Wrap – I used a white wrap but feel free to use wholemeal or a 50/50 wrap too.

Gluten Free – Gluten free wraps will work just fine.

Egg – If you have an egg allergy then you can use a little milk instead to wash the top of the sausage rolls.

Sesame Seeds – These can be left out if you don’t like them. Or use poppy seeds instead.
