Healthy Sausage Ball Delights



1/2 lb. prepared turkey breakfast sausage
1/2 cup instant or old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon milled flax seed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon reduced-fat grated parmesan cheese
2 wedges low calorie soft cheeses (such as Laughing Cow)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons water 



Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with silicone baking mat or spray generously with cooking spray. In a food processor, finely grind oats, flax, and chia until it resembles a powder. Set aside. In a medium bowl, place bulk sausage with cheeses, and warm tap water. Stir to fully combine. Combine with reserved oat mixture ensuring the mixture is completely incorporated. 
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounds of mixture on to prepared cookie sheet. Then lightly pick up and roll each to form balls placing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20-22 minutes at 400 degrees flipping once in the middle of cook time. Makes 22-24 balls. Recommended 4 balls per serving. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: serves 6
