In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.<br \/>\n2. Add the diced butter into the flour mixture and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<br \/>\n3. Stir in the Greek yogurt, followed by the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough is formed. The dough should be firm but not sticky.<br \/>\n4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Make the Filling<\/strong><br \/>\n1. In a separate bowl, combine the ground turkey with the onion, garlic, grated apple, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Assemble the Sausage Rolls<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<br \/>\n2. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1\/8 inch thick.<br \/>\n3. Spoon the sausage filling along one long edge of the dough.<br \/>\n4. Gently roll the dough over the filling, making sure it\u2019s snug, and seal the edges by pressing gently.<br \/>\n5. Cut the roll into your desired sizes, typically around 2-inch slices.<br \/>\n6. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.<br \/>\n7. Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Bake and Serve<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.<br \/>\n2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Recipe Summary:<\/h3>\n<p>These healthy sausage rolls are perfect for those who want a nutritious option without skipping on flavor.
