Description
These scotch eggs are healthy and easy to make. They use a simple homemade sausage with ground turkey and instead of deep frying them with oil, they are air fried to save on calories.
Ingredients
For the Turkey Sausage
- 1 lb uncooked 98% fat-free turkey breast, ground
- 1 teaspoon of sage
- 1/8 tsp of marjoram
- 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp of black pepper
- 1/4 tsp of salt
For the Scotch Eggs
- 6 hard boiled eggs
- 3/4 cup of panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- parsley flakes for garnish (optional)
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup of mayonaisse
- 1/3 cup of real maple syrup
- 2 tsp of chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
Instructions
1. Combine mayonnaise, maple syrup, and adobo sauce in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Mix sage, majoram, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Place ground turkey in a large bowl and mix the spice mixture into the turkey using your hands.
2. Divide turkey sausage into 6 even portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place one hard boiled egg in the middle and wrap the sausage around the eggs, sealing all sides. Set eggs aside on a plate.
3. Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Place beaten eggs into another small bowl. Place panko bread crumbs onto a plate. Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in bread crumbs and place onto a plate.
5. Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and place eggs into the basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 12 minutes, turning eggs over halfway through. Repeat with remaining eggs. Serve with dipping sauce.
