Eating Healthy can be Fun
Did you hear that.. Healthy Eating CAN be FUN?!!??! Told ya.
He also sent me some great recipes that his daughter and daughter-in-law have come up with. I gave this one a try and added a twist or two. They were a hit in my house with a hubby that isn’t too fond of mushrooms, but ate about half of these anyway
Stuffed Mushrooms
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb Turkey Sausage
1/4 cup Panko Crumbs (I used whole wheat bread crumbs)
6 oz Cream Cheese, Fat Free
16 oz (about 25) Baby Bella Mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Chipotle seasoning (or equal parts chili powder)
1/ cup chopped chives
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Rub mushrooms with damp towel to remove excess dirt, and remove stems saving 8 of the stems, finely chop stems and set aside. Meanwhile, cook turkey sausage until almost cooked through, add cream cheese, finely chopped mushrooms stems, and minced garlic in a frying pan over medium heat until cheese is melted and meat is cooked through. Drain excess grease. Pour sausage mixture into a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, mixing well. Stuff each of the mushroom caps and place on a cookie sheet and cook for about 15-20 min. until golden brown. Remove from oven and garnish with chives.
