Scotch Eggs

Scotch Eggs are usually deep fried, but baking is just as tasty. Spraying with a little Pam before baking makes a nice crisp coating. Using lean ground turkey and spinach also helps to make it healthier. I'm not a big cooked spinach fan, but the texture inside the meat is a perfect addition.

Scotch Eggs with Spinach

Ingredients:

14 oz lean ground turkey

6 hard boiled eggs, shells removed

24 leaves of fresh locally grown spinach

7 T dried breadcrumbs

1 egg, beaten

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Wrap each egg in 4 leaves of spinach.

		Divide sausage into 6 equal portions. On a lightly breadcrumb-sprinkled surface, pat out each portion to about 1/8” thickness. Wrap portions completely around each of the hard boiled eggs, pressing edges together to seal.
		Dip sausage-coated eggs in beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on baking tray and bake in preheated 375 degree oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
