This weekend, I went to the Boiler Room. It’s this fun little sit-down restaurant in downtown Fargo that serves the best Scotch eggs with this spicy dipping sauce. I think I ended up getting pretty damn close their sauce also. It has maple and a few chipotle peppers for spice. The sauce pretty much makes the Scotch Eggs. I’d use it for dipping chicken fingers or french fries. I went there with my new friend and we had a few Moscow Mules.
This recipe was posted back in 2016 and I recently edited this recipe to death to make it more WW friendly and also adapted it for the Air Fryer. There is also a recipe for 0 point turkey sausage below using 98% ground turkey! Pretty stoaked about this recipe and now I want some scotch eggs. For the dipping sauce you can sub out greek yogurt instead of mayo and use a sugar-free maple syrup if you like.
I love any kind of sausage period, but it is crazy how much salt there is in those packaged sausages! Making your own turkey sausage at home is pretty simple and cuts out a lot of salt! One normal scotch egg is 560 mg of sodium this recipe is half the sodium.
