Ingredients

• 1/2 lb turkey Italian sausage links, casings removed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
• 8 sheets phyllo dough
• 12 whole chives, optional

Directions

1. Crumble the sausage into a large nonstick skillet; add onion, red pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in cheese; cool slightly.

2. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; coat with cooking spray. Cover with a second sheet of phyllo; coat with cooking spray. Cut widthwise into three 4-inch strips, discarding trimmings. Top each with 2 round tbsp of sausage mixture; fold bottom and side edges over filling and roll up. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.

3. Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Tie a chive around each bundle, if desired. Serve warm.
