Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes, plus 1 hour to thaw puff pastry and

roast the sausage, and 30 minutes baking time

1/2 cup toasted walnuts

1-1/2 ounces Asiago cheese, cut in 1/2-inch pieces

6sun-dried tomato halves, reconstituted in 1/2 cup boiling water until softened, squeezed dry

1shallot (1-1/2 ounce) peeled and trimmed

1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage, roasted and cooled, cut in 3/4-inch slices *

12ounces cream cheese, regular or reduced fat, not nonfat, cut in 1-inch cubes

2 teaspoons basil

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed for 1 hour in the refrigerator

egg wash: 1 egg + 2 tablespoons water, beaten together

Insert the metal blade. Place the walnuts in the work bowl. Pulse to chop, 5 times; remove and reserve. With the machine running, drop the cheese cubes down the small feed tube. Process for 30 seconds until chopped; remove and reserve. Put the sun-dried tomatoes in the work bowl and pulse 5 times to chop; remove and reserve. With the machine running, drop the shallots down the small feed tube; process for 5 seconds to chop. Scrape the work bowl. Add the cream cheese, basil and ground pepper to the bowl. Use the pulse to blend, about

5 to 10 times. Scrape the work bowl. Add the reserved chopped walnuts, Asiago cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. Use the pulse to blend, about 5 times. Remove and reserve.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to 10 x 12 inches. Arrange the pastry on the work surface so that the long side is in front of you. Brush the top inch of the pastry with the egg wash, making a 1-inch edge. Using an offset or palette spatula, spread one third of the cream cheese mixture evenly on each of the puff pastry sheets. Roll the pas- try jelly-roll style, evenly so that you roll into the egg-washed edge. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8. Cover and refrigerate the egg wash.

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Slice the puff pastry into 28 slices, each 1/2 inch thick. (The sliced pin- wheels may be frozen at this time. Freeze the slices on a plastic wrap lined baking sheet in a single layer. When frozen solid, transfer to a freezer bag. Double wrap the bag to keep out freezer odors. May be frozen up to 3 weeks). Arrange the puff pastry slices on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Lightly brush with the egg wash. Bake for 23 to 28 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve hot/warm. If desired, they may be baked ahead. Bake until light golden; cool, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Reheat in a 300˚F oven for about 5 minutes.

*To roast the turkey sausage, prick the sausage several times with a fork, rub lightly with about a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, then roast on a foil lined pan at 350˚F for 25 to 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
