💰Cheaper: turkey

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than pork.

smoked sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: regular sausage

Turkey sausage offers a lower calorie option.

Heat 320 ml of milk to around 100°F in the microwave.

Add 20 g of instant yeast to the milk and stir, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 600 g of flour, 100 g of sugar, and 12 g of salt, and mix together.

Peel and chop 8 russet potatoes into chunks.

Cook the potatoes in a saucepan covered with water and a sprinkle of salt until fork tender.

Grate 1/2 cup each of mild cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Mash the cooked potatoes and mix in the grated cheese, adding salt to taste.

Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, add 1 stick of melted butter and 2 beaten eggs, and mix until combined.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover with Saran Wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 45-60 minutes).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two portions.

Flatten one portion of dough and place half of the potato and cheese mixture in the center.

Crimp the edges to seal the filling inside the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.

Flatten the other portion of dough to make bread rolls, cut into pieces, and let them rise for 20 minutes.
