In the Kitchen with Kat: Sausage Pinwheels

I was roasting in the sun...so I came inside for some wonderful a/c. A little peace and quiet. And some blogging time. And I look over at my live feed...and see that I have had a bunch of hits from a site called "Start cooking." What is up with that? So...I click over to see what this site is all about...and today's post is 35 ways to cook with sausage. And there I am. Number 7. And my delish sausage muffins.

I had no idea anyone was coming over for muffins. I would have let them know that I had gone to the beach. And I haven't put on make up or blown my hair dry in days. I might have even wiped the cracker crumbs from my counters. And then I remembered. I have yet another recipe I can post. Sausage seems to be a theme in my recipes. I even created an index right below my menu section. Just in case you might want to make Oriental Salad. Or have some strawberry shortcakes for dessert. Or check out my other sausage main dish: grits casserole.

And in honor of "start cooking"...here is yet another easy,yummy sausage recipe.

Look. This is all you need. Can't get much better than just two ingredients.

I like to use the Turkey sausage. It has a really nice, mild flavor. Feel free to change this to whatever sausage you prefer.

Open one of your cans of crescent rolls and lay them on your cookie sheet. Press all the perforations together. Lots of finger prints make it taste better.Next, take half the sausage and spread it over the crescent rolls. How easy is that? You don't even have to brown that sausage!Then roll it up.And it will look like this when you are done.Next, all you have to do is to slice up the roll. How thick is up to you.How about this thick?

When you are done slicing...your cookie sheet will look like this:

Pretty, pretty. Just follow the directions on the crescent rolls. You might need to add a few more minutes. Cook until the crescent rolls are brown and beautiful.Now, you have to tell people that these are sausage pinwheels. I have put them out at a brunch before and people didn't realize that was sausage in there. Someone even told me that she didn't get any because she thought it was cinnamon rolls. Do they look like cinammon to you?

Whatever they look like...they taste yummy. Perfection!

Here is the simple recipe:

2 packages of crescent rolls

1 pound package of turkey sausage.

Open one of the crescent rolls.

Smooth out perforations.

Spread half of sausage over the dough.

From the long side, roll the dough into a log.

Slice.

Bake according to crescent roll directions. Might need to add a little extra time.

Repeat with remaining sausage and crescent roll dough.

Enjoy!
