Giant Christmas sausage roll

Ingredients (11)

  • 500g turkey mince
  • 500g pear-and-onion pork sausages, casings removed
  • 90g (1/3 cup) Coles cranberry sauce, plus extra, to serve
  • 45g (1/2 cup) dried (packaged) breadcrumbs
  • 55g (1/3 cup) pistachios, coarsely chopped
  • 50g (1/3 cup) dried cranberries
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon thyme leaves
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 sheets frozen puff pastry, just thawed

Method

  • Step 1 Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Step 2 Place the turkey mince, sausage mince, cranberry sauce, breadcrumbs, pistachio, cranberries, garlic, sage, thyme and 2 eggs in large bowl. Season. Mix well to combine.
  • Step 3 On a clean work surface, join 2 pastry sheets along 1 side, overlapping by 3cm, to form 1 large rectangle. Press firmly to secure. Spoon the sausage mixture along 1 long side of pastry. Roll up pastry from long side to enclose filling. Place on the prepared tray, seam-side down. Lightly whisk the remaining egg. Brush the pastry with the egg.
  • Step 4 Use different sized star-shaped cookie cutters to cut stars from the remaining pastry sheet. Arrange over the sausage roll. Brush the stars with remaining egg. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until filling is cooked through and pastry is golden and puffed. Serve with extra cranberry sauce.
