Skinnied Bacon-Wrapped Sausage Patty

I saw this recipe in my Favorite Brand Name Grilling and More Cookbook, but new that there was no way I wanted to know the nutritional information, so I did my best to skinny it down, and I did. I skinnied it down to some thing delicious and guilty-free! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1lb of ground turkey sausage (I prefer Jennie-O)
3/4 cup rolled oats
salt to taste
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/3 cup sweetened applesauce (I might try cinnamon next time for fun!)
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp chopped fresh green onion
4 slices low-sodium turkey bacon (I prefer Oscar Myers. It is a new staple in our home. So good!)

Directions

-Preheat grill to about 350 degrees; oil grates with olive oil before adding meat
-In a large bowl, combine oats, salt, sage, pepper, and thyme.
-Stir in applesauce, egg, and green onion. Mix all well.
-Stir in turkey sausage until well blended.
-Form into four patties.
-Wrap each patty with a strip of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, but don't forget they are there!
-Grill each patty for about 5 minutes each side, or until fully cooked through.
