Mini Sausage Bundles

1/2 pound 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 cheese
8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
12 whole chives, optional

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. 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.
(Until ready to use, keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp
towel to prevent drying out.) Cut widthwise into three 4-in. strips, discarding
trimmings. Top each with 2 rounded tablespoons of sausage mixture; fold bottom
and side edges over filling and roll up. Repeat with remaining phyllo and
filling. 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.

Yield: 1 dozen.
