There are many versions of Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms available.  You can stuff them with just about any mixture of ingredients but the recipe here is the final result of my exhaustive testing. They taste great and only 212 calories per mushroom!

Serves: 6 as appetizer or 3 as meal

Prep Time: 15 mins.

Cook Time: 30 Mins.

 

Ingredients: 

6 Large Portobello Mushrooms

1 lb. Ground Turkey

1 Medium Onion, Chopped

1 Sm. Zucchini, Diced small

1 Medium Tomato, Chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 cup Fat Free Feta Cheese

1/3 Cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs

1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated

1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Pre-Heat oven to 375°

Heat olive oil in large sauté pan.  Sauté onion, zucchini, garlic, and tomato over medium heat until onions are translucent and the other ingredients are cooked down, about 10 minutes, Set aside.

In another pan brown Turkey, drain off liquid.

Add turkey to  sautéed vegetables, return to low heat. Add bread crumbs and Feta cheese to  turkey/vegetables , combine and cook on low heat for 5 mins.

Remove stems and scoop the “ribs” from the mushrooms and arrange on cookie sheet 

Evenly scoop the turkey/vegetables into the mushrooms (Pile ‘em as high as you have to)

fodada's Colors for A Cause

By -
Fashion is not my forté.   I am a t-shirt and shorts kind of guy that focuses on comfort rather than fashion.   Recently I was contacted by the fine folks at fodada , introducing their “ colors for cause ” line.   Fodada’s CFC line is the same as the basic line with, you guessed it, more color. The fodada clothing line was developed with Dad’s comfort in mind.   The idea was to have clothes that Dad can wear while playing with the little ones and still be comfortable.   And comfortable they are.   I have the Dada hoodie and I would go out on a limb and say it is probably the most comfortable sweatshirt I’ve ever worn.   It isn’t a heavy sweatshirt though. The fabric is light with a snug fit and made to just take the chill off. Fodada has partnered with two great organizations that care for kids.     Giving Children Hope is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating poverty (domestically and abroad) through disaster relief, health and community development,

Happy National Empanada Day!

Happy National Empanada Day!     This morning, in honor of the holiday, National Empanada Day, I decided to make some empanadas.  In deciding what kind to make I considered all the different kinds I could make.  There are sweet, desserty empanadas like fruit filled empanadas.  That would be good for breakfast, but lack of planning on my part left me with no fresh fruit for that option.  Then there are the savory empanadas, like beef filled, chicken filled or even cheese filled.  I decided on turkey filled because using ground turkey is similar to ground beef, and I like to save my red meat for steaks and roasts.  I always substitute ground turkey for ground beef, mostly because it's just the healthier option.
