Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms on your Pit Barrel Cooker

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oat flour is gluten-free and healthier.

ground turkey sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Chicken sausage is leaner, while pork sausage is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems.

Chop the mushroom stems and set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground turkey sausage; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and chopped mushroom stems; mix until well combined.

Add bread crumbs, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; mix thoroughly.

Stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.

Place stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and tops are golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
