These are wonderful appetizers for entertaining! the filling is laced with sage and sausage to create a turkey dressing taste! Spicy pork sausages works best for this. You should get around 35-38 appetizers with this recipe, but it can easily be doubled. You will need a 3-inch biscuit cutter for this or use a similar size drinking glass top. To save time prepare and bake the crusts up to a day in advance and store in a ziploc bag until ready to use. Ingredients:
