Maple Sausage and Orange Cream Cheese Turnovers

8 oz. maple sausage links

8 oz. cream cheese

1/3 C. orange marmalade

1 sheet puff pastry thawed

1 C. almonds sliced and toasted

1 large egg

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage until nicely browned and firm, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside and slice into thirds diagonally.

Combine cream cheese and marmalade in a bowl. Set aside.

Unfold pastry and cut into thirds lengthwise. Cut the strips in half making 6 squares. Using a rolling pin, roll out each square to measure 6 x 6 inches. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg wash around the border of the pastry.

Place 2 T. cream cheese mixture on the pastry. Sprinkle 2 t. almonds on top of cream cheese. Fold pastry over and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.

Brush the exterior with egg wash and sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with Maple Syrup.
