Cheesy Turkey Sausage Stromboli
ByIf I ask my husband what special meal he wants for his birthday or for Father’s Day…he usually grins and says, “Can you make me a Stromboli?”
It is SO YUMMY…it’s no wonder he always requests it!
Cheesy Turkey Sausage Stromboli
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 T. honey
1 t. sea salt
1 package yeast
3/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup warm milk
1 T. melted butter
1 pound turkey sausage
2 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs
1 t. basil
grated Parmesan cheese
Combine flour, salt and yeast. Add water, milk, honey and butter. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
Meanwhile, in a skillet cook sausage. Stir shredded cheese, one egg and basil into the sausage. Set aside.
Punch dough down and roll into a 15 x 10 inch rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture down one side of the rectangle to within one inch of the edges. Fold dough over filling and pinch to seal. Place on a cookie sheet. Cut four diagonal slits on top of the stromboli. Beat remaining egg and brush it over the stromboli. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and serve warm.
This is definitely a family favorite! Hope you try it and enjoy it!
I make almost exactly the same recipe, except mine calls for mozzerella instead of cheddar. My family, especially my husband, loves it.
I love your site, by the way. And you’ve got some terrific recipes. I tried the pretzels the other day. Mine didn’t come out “looking” as much like pretzels because the holes disappeared, but they were delicious. I actually made half of them with cinnamon sugar on top instead of salt and they were great. Thanks!

Mmmmmm… that sounds really good. Is that some kind of spread or dip in the picture that you serve with it?

This looks great! Did you bake it in a stone pan–like Pampered Chef stoneware by
chance? Glad you are feeling much better.

That looks absolutely amazing. I will definitely be making some kind of stromboli this weekend….just hafta figure out what I want to put inside.

I think this will make it on to the next menu plan, but I think I will add either some chopped baby spinach or some homemade pesto and some carmalized onions into it as well. I think my husband will love this!

This looks great! I want to add it to my next freezer cooking day. Have you frozen this before? Also, do you serve this with some type of sauce?

I never have frozen it but I don’t know why it wouldn’t freeze well. I don’t serve it with any kind of sauce because we like it plain, but I think a marinara sauce would be good!

I served it with sauce – it was perfect! I also made a small one alongside the big one for my husband to take to work for lunch…it’s in the freezer now – I baked it already, then let it cool about 20 minutes – then froze it. I can let you know how it turned out! I did it just like the recipe – but I think next time I might add some veggies – red bell peppers, onions, maybe even spinach and chopped carrots?
