Ingredients

  • 1 lb Turkey sausage I like using the mild kind, but you can go spicy too.
  • 1 pack Wonton Wrappers Usually found in the refrigerated section
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix
  • 1/3 cup Ranch Dressing Sometimes, I measure with my heart here.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: to 350°F (190°C).
  • Cook the turkey sausage: in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned and crumbly. Drain any extra fat.
  • Prebake: Place the Wanton Wrappers, one in each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin and prebake for 4 minutes. Keeping a close eye on them.
  • Create mixture: Add in the ranch and shredded cheese to your sausage. Mix ingredients together well.
  • Assemble the stars: Spoon some of the cooked turkey sausage mixture onto each star, followed by little cheese and or black olives.
  • Bake: Place the filled muffin tin in the oven and bake for another 2-4 minutes. Until golden and the cheese has melted. (Be careful! They can burn or darken easily.)
  • Garnish: with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like, and then serve warm. You’ll see — they’ll disappear in no time!
