Ingredients

  • 4 Ontario fresh turkey sausages (about 1 lb/454 g)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cornmeal
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili powder or pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp (75 mL) butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) shredded extra Old cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Grill turkey sausages over medium heat for about 2 minutes, turning occasionally until no longer pink inside. Let cool slightly and cut each into 6 pieces; set aside.
  • Grease 24 mini muffin tins; set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg and butter. Pour over flour mixture and stir until just combined. Add cheese and stir until distributed evenly.
  • Spoon batter evenly into prepared mini muffin tins and gently press sausage piece into each. Bake in preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for about 10 minutes or until light golden. Let cool in pan on cooling rack slightly before serving warm.

Chef's Tips

  • The turkey sausage used were 6 inches (15 cm) in length, if smaller you will need more sausages. Look for flavoured fresh turkey sausages that your family will enjoy.
  • Substitute smoked turkey sausage for fresh sausages and omit grilling step.
  • Large Variation: Divide batter among 12 greased muffin tins. Cut sausages in half and push in centre of muffin sideways before baking.
