sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage is leaner but may be more expensive.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, and white pepper.

Mix in the grated cheddar until coated.

Add the sausage, butter, chives, mustard, and horseradish sauce, mixing well until combined.

Use a scoop or spoon to form 1-inch balls.

Roll the balls smooth with your hands and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the balls one sheet at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

While the sausage balls are baking, mix together the cranberry sauce, whole-grain mustard, vinegar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer the sauce to a serving dish.

Serve the sausage balls warm with the cranberry mustard dipping sauce.
