Course: Main Course, Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 mushrooms/1 serving each

Ingredients

  • 4 large Portobello mushrooms
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup feta, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Clean the Portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and gills with a spoon to create space for the stuffing. Brush the mushrooms with olive oil on both sides and put them on a baking sheet. Use some parchment for easier clean up.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Allow the turkey to cook through and brown, about 5-7 minutes.  Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove some of the extra fat but leave a little bit.
  • Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, allowing the spinach to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Add in salt, pepper and oregano, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the feta cheese until combined.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add the breadcrumbs, the Parmesan cheese and remaining tablespoon of olive oil and mix together.
  • Divide the filling evenly among the Portobello mushrooms, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
  • Top with the breadcrumb mixture. For added crispiness, drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top.
  • Bake the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the top is crispy and brown.
  • Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as goat cheese, blue cheese, or cheddar, depending on your preference.
  • You can substitute the turkey for ground beef if you prefer. To make this a vegetarian dish, you can use tofu or beans in place of the turkey.
  • The mushrooms can be stuffed and refrigerated up to a day in advance. Just bake them right before you are wanting to eat.
  • Serve these stuffed mushrooms with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or a grain like quinoa or couscous for a complete meal.
  • Make sure to leave some juices from the turkey filling because it will make the mushrooms juicer and more tender.
  • You can cook these in an air fryer, just lower the temperature to 350°F and spray the bottom of the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. The cooking time will vary, start at 10-12 minutes and watch carefully from there.
