For a slightly lighter version, you can use turkey cocktail sausages instead of pork or beef. If you want a bit more texture, sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions or parsley over the top right before serving. For game day or potlucks, double the recipe and split it between a large disposable aluminum pan and a couple of paper takeout boxes so you can set some out on the counter and keep a backup portion ready to swap in when the first pan mysteriously “disappears.”
Aunt denise sets these down and suddenly everyone is “just grabbing one more” until they’re gone.
