Clean Eating Stuffed Mushrooms

Don’t those look yummy? I think they do. I’ve been wanting to make stuffed mushrooms for quite some time now, and I finally got around to it. I’m thinking these will fit in nicely with my Easter menu. But I won’t get to ahead of myself here.

I made mine with regular ground turkey meat. But if you really want to give these a flavorful punch, use a clean eating turkey sausage instead. Just cut open the casing and chop up the insides. Yum! I might have to make these again…

Clean Eating Stuffed Mushrooms
(Makes 24 mushrooms)

Ingredients
24 medium to large white mushrooms
1/4 large red bell pepper – chopped fine
1/4 large green bell pepper – chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. onion powder
2/3 cup cooked turkey meat (or clean eating sausage – chopped)
Stems from your mushrooms – chopped fine
4 egg whites
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup tomato sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 1 – Clean mushrooms and gently remove the stems. Set stems aside.

Step 2 – Mix all ingredients (except mushroom caps) in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3 – Place your mushroom caps on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Step 4 – Using a small spoon, gently scoop your filling into your mushroom caps.

Step 5 – Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until your mushrooms have a nice golden brown appearance.

Step 6 – Serve immediately. They are best when they are right out of the oven.

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

Wash their hands, then let them add the ingredients to the mixing bowl and have at it! They love to squeeze the “goo” between their fingers, and your mix will be very well…… mixed! Just be sure to wash their hands thoroughly afterward.
